The horses might have only been youngsters, but there were already some big names in the 2-year-old western pleasure finals on November 18. There was Rode Rageous, the sorrel gelding who won the 2009 Reichert Celebration and the Breeders Classic Futurity 2-year-old open western pleasure title at the National Snaffle Bit Association World Championship Show, and One N Only, who was the reserve Reichert Celebration champion. In the arena were also several blue-blooded offspring: Born Blazed out of Born Lopin, One Hot Moonlight out of Zippo By Moonlight whose dam is Ima Blister Bug, and VS Code Red, whose mother is the legendary mare Vital Signs Are Good. In the field as well was Certainly Inspired, the unanimous 2009 All American Quarter Horse Congress Masters western champion. And when it came down to the last horse standing, it was the pretty brown mare Certainly Inspired, who was placed first by all five judges.
