Around the Rings – 2022 AQHA World Show – November 15th
Tuesday, November 15, 2022
The morning of Tuesday, November 15th, Jeffrey Johns performed an historic ride-off for his tiebreaker for World Champion and Reserve titles in the L3 Amateur Trail Finals at the 2022 AQHA World Championship Show!
Both his horses, Nothin But Nett and KM Flat Out The Best, were tied across the board for first in their initial patterns in the finals, so Jeffrey had to ride in a tiebreaker against himself to determine his own World and Reserve Championships!
See what Jeffrey had to say in our EC TV video:

Another ride-off to break a tie for Champion and Reserve came on the heels of the first, this time in L3 Junior Trail, between Sara Simons with Ms ExtremelyHotChips for owner Sid Karr, and Blake Weis with Hot Lopin Lily for owner Caroline Cavallo.
Though they both scored 239, the World Champion was Hot Lopin Lily with Blake Weis! Blake said the ride-off was nerve wracking. “But if it can be on anyone, I love that it is on this horse, Lily. She’s very reliable and super careful, and she has so much style,” he says. Blake explains that there were parts of the pattern that improved in the ride-off, however. “In the finals, I chipped into my right lead lopes a little bit, and normally I go long, so that threw me off.” He says he learned from his mistake and rode seven strides instead of six in his lopeovers.
Since his teal shirt looked familiar, we asked if it was a favorite, or a lucky shirt, and he says indeed it is. “I’ve won quite a bit in this shirt; I’ve won the Junior Trail three or four times in this exact same shirt, and when I saw the back-through, I said, ‘I have to wear my lucky shirt!’” he explains.hor
