Thursday’s Around the Rings Photos and Results from 2022 AQHA West Level 1 Championship Show

Thursday, the 2022 Nutrena AQHA West Level 1 Championship Show featured over fence classes, horsemanship, trail and western pleasure.

In the trail pen, Hailey Brown won the Youth Walk Trot Trail on Signature Absolute, a horse she says is a world champion in trail and just a great horse!  When asked what she liked about trail, Hailey explains, “I just love going over poles and just having fun!”  She says that it meant a lot for her to win the class, and that “Slate” is smart in addition to his willingness to do anything for anybody.  Besides, she reveals, “He will eat anything!”  After the class, Hailey had big plans to give Slate some graham cracker teddy bears and some Gatorade, two of his favorite treats.

Entries were big Thursday, with some horsemanship surpassing 50 entries.  In the L1 Amateur Select Western Horsemanship, Patty Goodwin took first place in a field of 53 entries with her horse So Noticed.  For Patty, it was a thrill to win after a 20-year hiatus from showing.  “I came back last year as a Novice, and “Danny” is a brand new horse for me as of February.  But it’s been a year of really hard work so I’m super happy,” she says.  Patty says the pattern was wonderful, and it rode right to all of her abilities, and she notes, “We rode it like a boss!”
