Around the Rings – APHA Western National Championship – Thursday, Sept 21

Filed under: Around The Ring Galleries,Featured,Show Results & Gallery |     

 

On Thursday, September 21st, APHA kicked off its first Western National Championship to be held at WestWorld of Scottsdale.  The event, held in conjunction with Arizona Fall Championship, an AQHA show, enabled exhibitors and trainers with both breeds to the same location to show.

The first day of the show celebrated Hunter Under Saddle and Equitation competition, and one young exhibitor, Alana Nix, earned a first place in Walk Trot HUS 11-18 with Playin With Eyeliner.  It’s a fairly new division for youth who are not ready to lope, and the division is doing well.  See what Alana has to say about her success with “Jade,” in our EC TV video:

Dana Brown of Happy Valley, Oregon, had a great day, winning her Amateur Walk Trot Hunter Under Saddle, her Walk Trot Equitation class, and her horse, Sirtain Kinda Dream, won the Senior Hunter Under Saddle with Lily Zomparelli.

Dana bought “Cece” in 2019, and she jokes they click so well together because she gives Cece cookies.  “She’s super sweet,” Dana explains, “and from the moment I first rode her, I just loved her.”  Although she’s showing Cece Western as well at the show, English is their favorite discipline. “She’s such a pretty English horse and she’s fun to ride English,” Dana says, “and Bobby Emmons has been instrumental since she’s had so much time with Cece.” Bobby explains that she’s had Sirtain Kinda Dream since she purchased her for Nicole Kendrick before she won five World Championships some time ago.
