Tuesday’s Around the Rings Photos and Results from A Sudden Impulse

 

Exhibitors were busy this morning at A Sudden Impulse, juggling over fence classes, two rings of showmanship, halter, western pleasure, hunter under saddle, and western riding.

In Arena One, AQHA showmanship classes were on one side, with NSBA showmanship classes on the other. Despite the test of their skills doing back-to-back showmanship patterns, Eric Mendrysa showed Never Sudden to a win in the NSBA Amateur Showmanship. He explains that all the different maneuvers and pieces in each showmanship pattern were challenging, but he persevered with “Boferd.”  Eric says, “He felt good today and he did everything I asked him to do; I couldn’t be happier with him.”

Eric explains that he’s only had Never Sudden about six or seven months, and this is approximately their third show doing showmanship. “He’s super fun and sporty; he’s kind of like a little Ferrari out there and really fun to show.”  He’s hopeful for the NSBA World Show, Congress, and the AQHA World Show on his horizon, but he’s keeping his perspective with his other discipline. “I do reining right now, too, so I’m trying to juggle and balance that,” he says.

Soon afterward in the 13 & Under Showmanship, Taylor Bates took overall champion with Best Gift Yet, a horse she calls “Honey.”  She’s only had Honey since January, and though the back of the pattern was a bit difficult, Taylor says she felt good about it. “She’s an amazing horse to show, and she’s kind, sweet and funny,” Taylor reveals, explaining they’ve also set their bar high for this year. “We plan on going to the Youth World and Congress to show in showmanship, horsemanship, and equitation.”

At 6 PM in the Grand Arena, the NSBA Green Trail Sweepstakes set the stage for tough competition, with Sara Simons on Whiskey MadeMeFrisky for owned Andrea Stubblefield with top honors, and Nick Mayabb taking Reserve with Acrobatt for owner Nancy Chapman.
