AQHYA World Championship Show
8-2-2022
Tuesday in the Jim Norick Arena, Lydia Menossi won the honors of 1st place in the L1 Western Pleasure Champion of Champions.
Lydia and Justa Machine qualified for the L1 class at the L1 West Championships at WestWorld of Scottsdale earlier this year, and Lydia says he showed exactly for her today as he did in Arizona. “He was right there with me every step with the same consistency, and I couldn’t have asked for him to be any better.” Lydia says they bought him a year ago at this very show, and she loves how he always tries so hard and wants to do his best, even if he gets scared, as he does everything she asks him to do. “We’ve put a lot on him this past year, and he’s still right there with me every step – he has a lot of heart for sure.”
Also in the pleasure pen in the Performance Arena, Clara Ashcock won her second world title in row today in L2 13 & Under Western Pleasure, after cinching the win yesterday in the L3 13 & Under Western Pleasure, both with her horse, Made In the Dark.
Made In the Dark, whose barn name is Bud, is truly Clara’s buddy, she says. They also like to hang out together and he loves peppermints. Today’s ride was challenging, she explains. “It was good but it was pretty hard because there was a lot of traffic. I’ve had him two years, and we just show Western Pleasure. He’s really fun to ride.”
Right before that, Liv Winter won the horsemanship class of the day, the L1 13&U Horsemanship Champion of Champions, with A Diggn Hot Time. Watch what Liv had to say in her touching interview on EC TV here:
