Five-time Congress Champion, VS Code Red (Waylon) received red carpet VIP treatment during his meet and greet with fans Sunday at Congress. The event took place in front of the Voinovich building from 1 to 3pm and Mallory Beinborn of Impulse Photography was there to photograph the gorgeous red roan stallion. The seven year-old stood quietly with his ears up and posed for pictures for over two hours while receiving kisses and pets from his many admirers.
“The meet and greet was so fun, and I am floored by the turnout. Waylon is loved by so many,” Kristen Galyean, who owns the horse as part of the Glover/Galyean Partnership, told GoHorseShow. “He truly is one of a kind, and it was awesome for the public to get to experience how sweet and great minded he is. Waylon enjoyed every second. I think the babies and little kids were the highlight for him–he loves little ones. The whole experience was truly humbling, and I’m so thankful for each and every one of his fans. Thank you for loving him as much as I do!”
“Waylon was so good and easy to be around,” said Mallory Beinborn. “He is absolutely stunning and the camera just loves him. Every time I picked up the camera he perked up his ears. He was incredibly patient and his curiosity and tenderness with children and puppies was heartwarming. He is definitely ONE OF A KIND!”
It is now time for Waylon to get back to work. Kristen is showing Waylon in the Amateur Western Riding on Friday, October 24th. He will stand again at Highpoint Performance Horses and they are offering a Congress breeding special for Walyon. If you book your mare during the Congress, there is a $250 discount.
