“This was a tough win for us today, so I was really proud to see that we kept fighting, especially late in the meet,” South Carolina head coach Boo Major said. “New Mexico State proved today that they deserve their No. 4 ranking, so we certainly tip our hats to their riders because they showed up today and I thought they rode well.”

“A favorite of exhibitors and spectators alike, the class is judged on how well horses and riders perform in a simulated ranch environment. “In Ranch Pleasure, judges look for a perfect, handy horse with manners, versatility and movement,” said AQHA Senior Director of Judges Alex Ross. “There’s a real emphasis on forward movement and ground-covering gaits, while rules of cadence still apply.”

“This is a great accomplishment for Layla and we are all thrilled for her today,” South Carolina head coach Boo Major said. “Layla has proven herself to be one of the best, if not the best reiner at the college level so it’s always special when you’re able to win at a national show.”
