By: Brittany Bevis

Four new World Champions were crowned today during Halter classes at the AQHA World Championship Show. First, Marcia Lambrecht led Kennar to win Amateur Weanling Colts. Kennar is a bay stallion by Telasecret and out of Nay Nays Secret. It was a sweet win for Marcia’s trainer, Kathy Smallwood, whose birthday is today!

The Reserve Champion was Thomas Coon with Ask My Secret. Placing third was Drew Smith with Whoisit. Fourth was Richard Peden with Very Cool Indeed. Fifth was James Tan with Dauntles.

In Amateur Yearling Colts, Robert Eurez led Best Kept Secrete to win the class. Best Kept Secrete is a chestnut stallion by Heza Secret Agent and out of Hush Don’t Tell, by Fearles. The Reserve Champion was Terry Tippin with TF Bulletproof. Third was Theodore Lincoln with FG Unforgettable. Fourth was Thomas Coon with Secret Diablo. Fifth was Dan Fox with FR Like A Rock.

The World Champion in Amateur Performance Halter Stallions was Angie Watts Schmeck with Inspirado, a bay stallion by De Renzo and out of MBJ Mini Obvious, by Obvious Conclusion.

Finally, the Amateur 2-Year-Old Stallions class was won by Lea Ann Koch with I Am Relentless, a chestnut stallion by Sirprizerized and out of Best To Be Me, by Kid Coolsified. We remember chatting with Lea Ann at the recent Quarter Horse Congress when she led her homebred stallion to a Congress Championship win. She told us about a photo she was hoping to have captured here at the World Show.

“I have this space at home in my office where I have a picture of his grandmother coming out of the arena, and I’m patting her. I have her buckle underneath. Then, I have a picture of his mother and I coming out of the arena with our trophy, and I’m patting her on the neck. I’m hoping I get one of those pat shots coming out of the World Show while carrying a trophy with him!”  Well, here you go Lea Ann! To complete your collection.

The Reserve Champion was Robin Robinett with BPF Classy Kid. Third was Kim Anding with BPF Midas Touch. Fourth was Becky Durrett with El Pistolaro.

Stay tuned for Amateur Western Pleasure and Amateur Western Riding finals this evening at 6 pm.
