2009 Gold Rush Classic

I think I'm finally recovered from the Las Vegas trip. Before we even got going, my truck blew the water pump, literally in my driveway the night before we were leaving! Thankfully, the mechanic was able to get it in at 7:30 am and fix it up quick so we were on the road by 1:30 pm. We had a great trip and arrived to Las Vegas around 8:30.

The show was tons of fun as usual! We started off Friday morning in the Amateur Stakes class. I rode Coronado, and my friend Dianna rode Sedona for me. Coronado was 1st for the CSPHC, 3rd for the RGPHC. Sedona placed 2nd for RCPHC, and 5th in CSPHC. It was great competition and a huge class. In the afternoon, Coronado and I won the champagne class once again! Out of 10 years of the GRC, I've only lost champagne once!

I was very excited to show Sedona in a large show like this one to see how she placed with out of state competition. We qualified for the Amateur Performance Mares championship and the AOTR championship. She was the 2009 RGPHC Champion Amateur Performance Mare! Very exciting since there was some awesome competition there!

Coronado won his first regional Laureado for the CSPHC Amateur Champion of Champions Performance Stallion! This is his 3rd year in a row, and he is now a laureado or retired with honors from the CSPHC show.
