In the very last class of the day in the Mustang Arena, Ruth Lindley and Not A Average Joe took the gold trophy for their first place finish in Novice Amateur 50 & Over Western Horsemanship. In fact, Ruth rides with Robin Frid, and so does the Reserve Champion of the class, Anne Kennedy and Imma American Made. “Robin Frid has me so prepped, and I have to do exactly what he says – and I did it!” laughs Ruth. She says she got a lot of time to study for her favorite class because the Invitational had the same pattern. “I was able to watch the very best of the best and try to emulate the best I can do after watching them.”
It’s Not A Average Joe that makes her heart truly sing, however. “His barn name is Joey, but I can’t help it – I call him Mr. Handsome! He is so handsome! And that is his real forelock.”
