An air of anticipation built for Saturday night’s Championship & Supreme Championship classes, with horse/rider combinations qualifying for these classes over the first two days of the show. Some of the best horses in North America were competing. Exhibitors in the Supreme Championship classes were not only vying for bragging rights, but also the coveted Andalusian World Cup trophy. The two year old colt, Judio JV II, bred and owned by Jesus Villarreal (JV Ranch) and presented by Amber Lentz won the Halter Supreme Championship and the title of Supreme Champion Best Movement was awarded to Deleite MA, owned by Xavier Farms and shown by Howard Peet. Deleite’s owners, Bill Taylor and Adrienne LaFar were also awarded the Conquistador Award, for traveling from South Carolina to attend the show. Bill Deeney, aboard Tilley Andalusian’s DiMaggio TA was victorious in the Supreme Western Pleasure class, taking home a Dale Chavez custom silver show saddle and also winning the English Hunt Seat Supreme Championship with Cereja, owned by Tilley Andalusians. Colpre, owned by Carmen Sacerdote and ridden by Arthur Ramirez won The Dressage Suitability Supreme Championship. Driving Tresor KDW for Lori Luck, Arthur also was successful in capturing the Driving Supreme Championship. Another special award went to Howard Peet, who received the Fellowship Award for being sportsmanlike and always offering to help or give advice to other competitors. Nadine Tilley, who has tirelessly worked for years to promote and help the breed, was acknowledged with the Ambassador’s Award.
