UPDATE: GoHorseShow would like to congratulate Kristen Galyean on her win in the Two Year-Old Non Pro on Wednesday afternoon with VS Flatline (Kobe). Yesterday, Kobe won his first Congress Championship with Jay Starnes aboard in the Two Year-Old Stakes Class.
“What an amazing day,” says Kristen right after her win. “Thank you to the entire Starnes team and especially my horse Kobe–that was awesome!”

Congratulations goes to VS Flatline (Kobe) who was named Congress Champion in the Two Year-Old Western Pleasure Stakes on Tuesday afternoon. The two year-old stallion by Lazy Loper and out of the great Vital Signs Are Good was shown by Jay Starnes and owned by the Galyean/Glover Partnership. The duo had three firsts and a second to take home the win.
“Kobe looked really great today,” says owner, Kristen Galyean. “He was sick at the Reichert and not quite himself, but, today, he was back to his old self and showed great. I love everything about him. He has some attributes of his mother, and he is just gorgeous being a bay roan. He was a perfect gentleman and showed great presence in the arena.”
Galyean fondly adds, “He has such a great attitude like his mother and half brother Waylon (VS Code Red). He is lazy like the others and loves to just do his job. You have to chase him and push him to go forward which is a great problem to have.”
Kristen will be showing in the finals of the Two Year-Old Non Pro tomorrow and Jay Starnes will be also showing him in Oklahoma City in the AQHA Two Year-Old Snaffle Bit Class at the AQHA World Show.”
Kobe’s owner has also revealed that she will be showing him in the three year-old events next year, and won’t be standing him until after his three year-old year.
“Waylon (VS Code Red) will be doing all the heavy lifting in the breeding shed next year,” Kristen says. “I haven’t been able to show in quite awhile so I look forward to being able to show Kobe next year in the futurities before we stand him to the public.”
Also look out for Kristen and VS Code Red in the Amateur Western Riding in a few days at the Congress!
