WA Western Spectacular Photos - Horseplay Photos WA’s three Western Breed Associations (WAQHA, PRAC & WAPHA) ran a combined Western Spectacular multi-judge show over the weekend of the 21st & 22nd of October at the State Equestrian Centre. A great show for competitors – Two shows in one, one venue, one petrol bill, one charge for stabling. Our judges for the weekend were ‘AA’ Shane Massingham, and our ‘A’ judge was Teish Andrea.   Saturday morning started with an encouragement show, which was perfect for those wanting to give western a go, no matter what breed of horse you rode. This show was judged by Teish which was a bonus for those who competed to have an eastern states AQHA accredited judge, judge them! Congratulations to all competitors for their wins and placings. It was lovely to hear positive feedback from our competitors and spectators. This lovely comment was received by well-known Dressage rider Liz Tollarzo, who recently purchased a QH for her daughter Mia,“Mia competed at the State Equestrian Centre in the All Breeds Western Encouragement Show, her first go at western with only a hiccup in the trail event. Great start and what a fantastic horse - thank you Mi
