“I knew it was down to the last judge, so I was just holding my breath…”

This afternoon’s APHA World Show showmanship patterns were certainly not for the faint of heart. The Novice Amateur, Classic Amateur, and Masters Amateur divisions were challenged with extremely complex patterns that utilized maneuvers like extended trots, multiple tight turns, and speed changes.

More than 3,400 entries from the United States, Australia, Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, China, Germany, Mexico and the United Kingdom are competing for 98 world championships at this year’s event.

Every time, Timeless Assets, aka “Tucson,” has entered the hunter under saddle pen at the APHA World Championship Show he has exited with either a World or Reserve World Championship finish. Today was certainly no different when his owner Coleen Bull climbed aboard.

This marks the fourth win of the day for the Olin Parker crew. It was up to Maxwell not to break the winning streak.
