Roberts, Chavez, and Masterson Top Maturity Non Pro WP Ltd. Stakes Leaderboard

By: Brittany Bevis

Three lovely ladies found themselves at the top of the leaderboard following this afternoon’s Maturity Non Pro Western Pleasure Stakes class at the 2014 Quarter Horse Congress. Winning the Congress Champion title was Susan Roberts with Only A Breeze, the same pair that was named the Select Western Pleasure World Champions just a few months ago. The Reserve Congress Champion was Alexandra Chavez with Hot Lopin Goodbar. Rounding out the top three was our Congress edition cover girl, Marilyn Masterson, aboard Suddenly It’s Time.

Both Champion and Reserve Champion hail from “The Green Team” of Rusty and Katie Green from Pilot Point, Texas. Today, Roberts was showing Only A Breeze, aka “Abby,” a full sister to Roberts’s other horse, Only Ever After, aka “Randi.”

“Abby is five years old,” Roberts says. “Only Ever After is leased to Brittany Harter this year, and she will be shown here in the Youth Western Pleasure. They are full sisters by Invitation Only.”

Despite the identical bloodlines, Roberts is quick to indicate that both Abby and Randi are definitely their own women.

“Abby is happy all the time,” she says. “She never really has moods; she just does her job; and she seems to like it. This one is a little more flowy, while Randi is built like a little box, and she never gets out of her box.”

Coming up next year, Roberts is hoping to develop the second generation of “Only” ladies by breeding Abby. We wonder which lucky stallion she will pick to sire the next set of champions for Capital Quarter Horses LLC…
