NWHA Regional Championships Show Report

Had a fantastic time at the Christy Anderson Memorial Regional Championship Walker Show last week in Asheville!
My gelding, "Corey", was Regional Champion at Third Level Dressage for the third year in a row, along with a third place in the difficult advanced Trail Obstacle class.
My mare, "Ryanne", was Regional Reserve Champion at Intro Level Dressage.
She also won her English Pleasure class.
Highlight of the show was me and Ryanne winning the Regional Queen contest. It was really fun riding our musical freestyle to the "Diamond Music", dedicated to the memory of Christy Anderson..
I really enjoyed having Ryanne's former owners, Ed and Teena Anderson, there with us to see Ryanne's wins. Really had a good time seeing all my Walking Horse friends and seeing them also win their classes. Congratulations to everyone!

Carolina Walker Camden Classic report



The first big Walking Horse show of the season proved to be a great success. With major improvements to the show grounds in Camden, S.C. everyone had a fantastic time. It was the first show for me and Ryanne and I could not have been more pleased. She won both the Intro Dressage tests with scores of 68 and 70.5 and was high score of the day. Then she won the Dressage Freestyle, beating my other horse Corey. My good friend from Georgia, Sue Stepp, showed her in a couple of rail classes on Saturday and got some good ribbons in large classes even though she had just ridden her for the first time that morning. Very impressive!
Corey also had a good show, winning the Third Level test 1 class with a score of 63%. He took second to his sister in the Musical Freestyle class. On Sunday we had a good ride in the Trail Obstacle class and took home a second and third place.
I really enjoyed doing the Dressage Musical Freestyle class with both horses and hope that more riders will compete next year.
