US Nationals

In October I traveled to Ft. Worth for the NAPHA national show to ride horses for Barbara Windom and La Estancia Alegre.

I rode LEA Dorado de Domecq in sidesaddle, Western and several other classes. He was the 2009 National High Point Versatility horse of show! We also wond the Western Pleasure class, and a beautiful custom made buckle donated by Sharon LaPierre of Red Raven Ranch - thanks Sharon!

LEA Poema was competing for her third champion of champions in the Amateur & Open Performance Mares division. Roberto Quijandria, her wonderful trainer, rode her to her Laureada in the Open division, and I rode her to her 2nd laureada in the Amateur Division! Its a huge honor and very difficult to win one national laureada, much less two!
