Also on Thursday morning, Anita Newbigging and Landing Gear won the top spot in the Amateur Masters Junior Hunter Under Saddle!

Anita is a DIY Amateur from Ontario, Canada, who gets help from Trainer Kelly Chapman of Michigan. Anita explains and she and “Tango” will get virtual lessons or meet Kelly at a show to obtain her expertise. For this particular show, they hadn’t been able to meet recently, so Anita came a couple of days early.  “We kind of got some bugs fixed that I had, and here we are today,” she explains.

The DIYer bought Tango when he was three months old and just waited on him.

“I showed him four times last year, and the last time he was shown before I came here was last September,” Anita explains.   She says she was really proud of his performance in the Eq on Wednesday, where they earned a Bronze Championship in the Masters Amateur Hunt Seat Equitation 45 & Over.  The pair also won a Bronze in Non Pro 3 Year Old Hunter Under Saddle Sweepstakes this week. “He’s been a good boy considering he’s only been to a handful of shows.”

The third-generation exhibitor did Walk Trot as a Youth, then showed Appaloosa, then moved to showing Quarter Horses when she was 18, and now she shows Quarter Horse and Paint – Tango is double registered.

Besides the assistance she receives from Kelly Chapman, Anita says a DIYer still needs to have a support system in place.  “As much as you’re a do it yourself, are you really a do it yourself? It takes so many people –I might sit up there and do all the riding, but at the end of the day, we have people who have eyes on the ground watching, helping, being pit crew, fly spraying, helping, cleaning, and buffing – it’s a lot even as a DIY.  I’m fortunate, as my mom Sherry still shows, too.”

Her advice for other DIYers: the wins are yours and the losses are yours, but there’s no greater reward than when you do it yourself.

Later in the Amateur Senior Hunter Under Saddle, Megan East Hogan rode multiple World Champion Al Bet Ur Two Faced to another win, a horse she explains gets better every year.  “Henry” is not only special to Megan because he’s homebred, but also because his dam was also Megan’s celebrated Youth 14-18 show horse, Moons Fancy Face.

She laughs that this is Henry’s world and they just live in it. “He’s quirky and we know what those quirks are. Someone has to pet him while they stand in line and wait for awards,” she explains.

“Every win in special, but it makes it more special because I have a history with his mother,” Megan reveals.  “Watching them grow up from baby to become a successful show horse is really something else to experience.”

Megan has become a busy mom, and she says this is her first show of the year.  However, she says her team of Mike Hachtel and Kollin Fischer make it work.  “It takes a village and I have a great village behind me.”
