Vale - SIMPLY CLASSY (Jessica) Q-39779
VALE – Q-14321 IMA CHARMER
On the 15th March, 2016 my daughter Katie and I made
the heartbreaking decision to put to sleep our lovely
palomino mare, Simply Classy. She was by Classy
Priority (Imp) Q-31812 out of Simply Impressed Q-23831
(Profit). She was only 18 years old but suffering from an
old injury and her quality of life had rapidly deteriorated.
I bought Charmer sight unseen from breeder Rosemary
Clifton in 1988 as a green-broke two year old. Ima
Charger was a gelding by M.B.J. Charmer (imp) out of
Gypsy Rose Lee. Charmer was sent to trainers, Bert and
Leanne Purcell for training. With this partnership he
acquired:AQHA Champion Award
AQHA Youth Award
Twice Hi-Point Halter Gelding of Australia
Hi-Point Western Horsemanship Horse of the Year
Reserve Grand Champion Gelding at 1990 Nationals
Grand Champion Gelding at 1993 Nationals
“Jessica” was bred by us, broken in as a two year old and
sent straight to Pony Club for 11 year old Katie to ride.
Together they became an all-round formidable team
excelling in all aspect of riding.
Katie and “Jessica” amassed 726.5 AQHA points. “Jess”
was a Youth Champion horse with 13 awards, was also
National Palomino Horse of the Year for hacking, official
Pony Club, campdrafting and sporting for consecutive
years. Aboard “Jessica”, Katie had also won numerous
awards including:2002 AQHA Runner-up Youth Category 2, Runner-up
Campdraft
2005 AQHA Runner-up Youth Category 2
2006 AQHA National Youth Category 2, 2006
National Youth Sporting & Runner-up Campdraft
“Jessica” was a great
ambassador for both the
AQHA and Pony Club
Associations.
