Jean-Marie Degville and Gen ’ s Black Ops - “ Sniper ”
Gen ’ s Black Ops – “ Sniper ” and I are extremely excited and honored to pass The NWHA Lumière Best in Show Grand Champion trophy over to this years new winner ! I know that 2021 will bring forward another amazing group of supreme athletic champions just as we saw in the first two years of this awesome class .
Winning the Best in Show class last year with my Dad and our little three year old filly at my favorite show , was the absolute best thing that has ever happened to me in my entire equestrian career . For thirtyone years my father and I have owned , bred , raised , trail ridden , shown , and been proud to love this incredibly gentle breed . I am blessed to be able to share this passion with my Dad , our 16 horses , trainers , friends , and all of you !
You are the reason we come back year after year . You are the reason I volunteer to make this organization strong and enjoyable . You all play a part in making the NWHA a place for happy horses and happy friends to cultivate memories and friendships that last for decades .
Let ’ s celebrate our time together this week back in Murfreesboro , Tennessee and remember our brave men and women who fight to keep this country and others safe for us to enjoy times like these !
Good Luck and God Bless ! Love ,
