Only A Summer Breeze Wins Another Hylton Slot Class

The Hylton Quarter Horses 3 and 4-year-old $1,000 Novice Horse Western Pleasure Slot class was held at the Little Futurity in Raleigh, North Carolina on Monday night.  After two splits the finals were comprised of 18 talented horses.  Congratulations to winners Brian Baker and Only A Summer Breeze for bringing home a check for $18,688!

Baker, of Sundbury, Ohio is no stranger to the winner’s circle with Kathryn and Dan Frederick’s 2008 bay mare by Invitation Only and out of Zippin In The Breeze.  You will recall that this pair won $50,000 in  the Hylton Maiden Three-Year Old Western Pleasure at the Virginia Classic in April.  

GoHorseShow talked to Brian Baker and he said he was very proud of the mare. “I thought she showed wonderful. She was still very solid but she loped and jogged a lot better than she did at the Virginia Classic. Our next goal is to win the slot class at Southern Belle. We are calling it the Triple Crown–with the slot class at the Virginia Classic, the Little Futurity, and the Southern Belle. I think that would be a great achievement. However, that is what everyone is trying to do—there are a lot of great horses out there, but I think we are up for the challenge.”
GoHorseShow asked the ever humble Baker if his life has changed much since his big win in Virginia. “I think people notice me more, but I’m still trying to potty train my little boy–so not much has changed,” Brian says and laughs. “I get up at the same time everyday and go to work– I’m just thankful for the success we have had so far.”

Judges for the class were:  Jim Searles (AZ), Scott Neuman (MT) and Buddy Fischer (TX)
