Hunt Seat Edition-

Exhibitor: Trisha Yamber

Horse: Dance On These Irons

Sire: These Irons Are Hot

Owner: Richard and Betty Jo Carr

Interesting Fact: “He is a full brother to These Irons Are Fancy, the horse Trisha was fourth on in the Masters,” Carl Yamber says. “He is also a full brother to the one she won the Junior on at the Congress, These Irons Are Ready. Both of the sisters have done really well.

Description: “He is a nice, big, strong horse. He is a really good horse, and he should do really well. He is big, pretty, good-minded, and real sound. There are no big hangups with him.”

Western Pleasure Edition-

Exhibitor: Amanda Jackson

Horse: Somekind of Lazy, aka”Hazel”

Sire: Lazy Loper

Dam: Only Yours

Owner: Susan and Stanley Scott

Interesting Fact: “We raised the mother, and we raised her,” Susan Scott says. “She is a great loper, just like her mother. She moves a lot like her, and she’s gorgeous. She’s got a great big forelock and tail.”

Why did you pick this horse for the Equine Chronicle Congress Masters? “When she was young, as a yearling out in the field, she was a great loper. We knew how great her mother was. When we got ready to break her, we decided to save her for the Masters.

Description: “She’s a really sweet mare. Her mother was extremely sweet, and she’s the same way. Her mom is now being shown in Select. It’s kind of neat how she was winning futurities, and then three years later, she is a Select horse. We are hoping this one will go on and do the same thing.”
