The AQHA Novice East and West Championships are coming up in a few weeks, and I wanted to give the competitors a few reminders and tips to make the show a fun and valuable learning experience. From my travels judging all over the world and reporting for GoHorseShow, these are the top five tips that I have gathered from both endeavors. I have also heard this advice repeated over and over again by trainers and fellow judges. Find out what you need to know before you show!
You can call Millie Corder of Gainesville, Georgia and her multiple APHA World Champion Western Pleasure stallion, Make Me Shine, "The Comeback Kids." At this year's Pinto World Show, this team won the Elite Western Pleasure with 28in the class. While Corder and Floyd are no stranger to the winner's circle, they have been retired from riding classes for several years, and they recently became a team.
It goes without saying that the Cosentino twins of Omaha, Nebraska have
a great deal in common. Kara and Beth both love horses, show in the
western pleasure, train with Shane Dowdy, and have talented horses who
are by Invitation Only. The girls are also in their last year in youth
and are headed off to college in the fall. However, before they move on
to the next chapter in their lives, the two eighteen year-olds are ready
to win big at the AQHYA World and Congress.
According to the National Weather Service, the April 25–28, 2011 tornado
outbreak was the largest single-system tornado outbreak ever recorded. With a little over a year after the massive tornados, GoHorseShow
decided to check back with Kyle Hughes of Abingdon, Virginia, Donna
Preskitt of 5W Ranch
in Alabama, and the Ellis Family from Cleveland, Tennessee to see how
they are doing a year after the storm.
Amy and Emily Whitaker of Rogers, Arkansas have been very busy since their horse showing days. Their parents, Larry and Linda, still own and breed their famous hunt seat
stallion, Last Details, who stands at Masterson Farms in Somerville,
Tennessee. However, these striking and beautiful sisters have moved on
from the show arena and are both married with large families of their own.
GoHorseShow is sad to report the unexpected passing of PF Credibley
Supreme who was awarded the 2011 Congress Grand Champion Stallion and
World Champion Yearling Stallion at the AQHA World Show last year. The new
up-and-coming stallion was looking to take over for his father, MH
Supremo, as a leading breeding halter sire, but it appears that will no
longer be a possibility.
GoHorseshow would like to congratulate Potential Investment on
being inducted into the NSBA Hall of Fame as a breeding sire. Potential
Investment was by Principle Investment and out of the great show mare,
Hot Little Treasure, who was by Hotrodders Jet Set. The multiple World
and Congress Champion sire passed away in December of 2010 at the age of 18, but his
legacy will live on in his offspring.
Twelve year-old Mackenzie Matthews of Mount Pleasant, North Carolina may
be considered young by most accounts, but in the horse show world, she
could be regarded as an old hand. The seventh grader told GoHorseShow
that she attended her first horse show, the Redbud, when she was just
six weeks-old!
GoHorseShow is sad to report the passing of an AQHA legend, Mr Zippo
Pine, due to complications from old age and arthritis. The 1995 NSBA
Hall of Fame inductee was by Zippo Pine Bar and out of Tamara Wess making him a full brother to Zippos Mr Good Bar. He was 30 years-old when he passed and was buried at
owner Abby Jo White's parents farm located in Salina, Kansas.
It is not every day that a teenager has the opportunity to address the
Georgia House of Representatives but sixteen year-old Brianne Bielecki
of Logansville, Georgia was the first person in the state of Georgia to
be recognized for her sport of horseback riding earlier this year.
Bielecki was honored with a resolution and spoke to the House which was
featured on RFD-TV.
