After completion of the Western
Pleasure events, the Ranch Riding,
Reining and Western Riding events
were held. Congratulations to
Gail Rapley riding Got the Laredo
Blues Q-70066 for winning the
All Age Open Feature Ranch
Riding, with Deb Worth and Roc
Story Q-59074 coming in Reserve
Champions.
Following a quick break, we were
back in ready for the trail and beat
the heat! First up was the Joyful
Firefly Memorial $1,0001 All Age
Trail Feature. After the tragic loss
of Joyful Firefly Q-57501 back
in 2017, owner Bridget de Bijl
sponsored $501 for the event.
The WAQHA committee voted
that from there on, the class
would become a memorial in Flys
honour, and competitor number
501 would be retired. This year,
the prizemoney was raised to
$1001. A big congratulations
to Tracy Allen riding Littlestone
Kryptonite Q-82644 for winning
this event and taking home the
big bucks. Coming in a close
second was Im Pawsitively Surely
Good Q-72936 ridden by Karen
Cornish.
One of WAQHA’s long term
supporting sponsors, Sign Ur
Neighm sponsored a heavy weight
kersey wool rug for the Highest
Trail Score of the show.
A great innovative that meant
anyone could win it. The highest
score of the show was 74.5 and
was won by Karen Cornish riding
Im Pawsitively Surely Good
Q-72936, Congratulations.
After the Friday events had
concluded and the weather
cooled down, we met back in
the arena for some fun, Led Trail.
Dress your horse, your dog, your
human, whoever! A big thank you
to Karen Cornish for volunteering
to score and Melissa Deutscher
for organising.
