Back-to-Back Honors for Zuidema Show Horses at A Sudden Impulse 2025
Wednesday afternoon at A Sudden Impulse, Katy Jo Zuidema pulled off an impressive feat by showing two four-year-olds in back-to-back classes, starting out in Hunter Under Saddle, and finishing with Western Pleasure.
First, What Is The Matter (What Matters Most x LastMinuteInvestment – owned by Marcie McClenon) and Katy Jo won the $5000 NSBA 4YO Open Hunter Under Saddle. Then she hopped right on The Drinkz R On Me (CP Surely The Best x Absolut Martini Girl, owned by Lyle Hanson) to win a Reserve in the $10,000 NSBA 4YO Open Western Pleasure.
See what Katy Jo has to say about these two special horses, their future plans, and of course, we saved this answer for last – who has the best 90’s country song? Watch the EC TV video:
