YOUTH NATIONALS CELEBRATES 20TH ANNIVERSARY SHOW!

By Christy Egan

The 2012 Youth National Championship Show celebrated its 20th Anniversary in Albuquerque, New Mexico this past week.  Despite the high heat during most of the show, the youthful crowd was upbeat and thrilled to participate. About 800 horses attended the 2012 show and competition was simply better than ever!

Moments to remember? There were dozens, but here are just a few . . . Sarah Beth Womble won multiple National Championships this year, beginning with the HA Pleasure Driving and closing with spectacular rose-winning rides on ROL Firecracker.  Holland Stevens won an astonishing seven Championships and three Reserves in  English, Hunter and Western Pleasure; Show Hack and Side Saddle. Anna Redmond also took home numerous rose blankets in Western and in Hunter Pleasure. The Desiderio family continues to show the way in the Working Hunter classes with daughter Alex. She won at least a half-dozen National Championships at Youth this year.  Julia Bassett and Jenna Upchurch were stars in the Dressage competition, Sydney Dazzo dazzled in Halter, and Ian Robinson won two National Championships and two Reserves in Trail. As always there were brand new stars among the riders. Many young people won their first rose blanket at the 2012 Youth Nationals. Hopefully their first of many to come. We all look forward to great moments next year.

There were many, many others with multiple wins, plus some great stories of hard work, sacrifice and terrific rides – congratulations and kudos to each and every one of you! We know your families are very proud of you. The Parade of Regions  ~ Anniversary Party ~ Dog Costume Contest and Racing … the 2012 Youth National Championships finally came to an end on a lovely, warm Saturday New Mexico evening.  The soft breeze and the stars peaking through the clouds served as a background for the cheers, laughter and tears of young horsemen and women. There were sighs for those who won’t be returning next year as competitors, and excited anticipation for the youngsters, the newcomers and the returning veterans, already dreaming about the lights, music and roses at the Arabian Youth National Championships, New Mexico State Fairgrounds in July, 2013!

    “My best mare, my dream horse, had serious problems and nothing was working,” says Carla Odetto of Performance Equine Nutrition™. “I brought in veterinarians. We tried X-rays and injections. They couldn’t find the problem. My trainer’s solution was to ride her more but that didn’t help. She just got into better shape and took longer to settle down and work. I tried dozens of saddle pads; switched from one saddle to another. My mare had hypersensitive skin and was constantly sore backed. Her muscles were tight and rigid. We would have a greatwork and then suddenly, she would come apart violently. She was angry; I was frustrated.”

  • Stuart2012Plateau Arabians

    Going from a child’s Arabian horse to a world class stallion station in a handful of years is rather like starting out from your house in a Chevy pick-up and finding yourself in a Ferrari doing seventy by the time you hit the end of the block. It invariably takes years for breeding programs to grow, develop and mature. How does a story like this begin and, perhaps more importantly, how does it succeed?
