Well, it's been bragged about almost EVERYWHERE, but I can never get enough of it!!
NN Elite Arabians has done it again. Two years in a row, we have produced the Region 9 Sport Horse In Hand Champions for either Purebred Stallions or Mares. Last year, it was Psymin - at 2 years old and the youngest, who took the Open Stallions class. This year, we congratulate the 19 year old NN Chantilly Lace - the oldest mare, who was named the 2009 Purebred Mare In Hand Grand Champion and Reserve Champion in the Amateur to Handle classes.
Psymin and I went Top 5 (3rd) in Purebred Sport Horse in Hand Stallions Amateur to Handle. He also took a Top 5 with my friend Sandy Johnson on the lead in the Open class.
The biggest thrill for me came from my 19 year old mare, NN Chantilly Lace (Psymin's dam). Chantilly and I went Grand Champion Purebred Mares Sport Horse in Hand Open. We then took Reserve in the Amateur to Handle class. We were named the Reserve Champion of Champions Purebred with a winning GO of 75.7. That score was the 2nd highest score of ALL the pure-bred SHIH rounds. There were 44 total PB SHIH GOs. We were also awarded with a silver belt buckle for being the highest scoring Ammy Owner/Handler pair.
I have never loved that old grey mare more than I did as I showed her. It didn't matter how we placed. She is such a pleasure and sweet girl to handle. I had to let her get her shot after Jarrod qualified her in January. She did her heritage proud as well as my heart.
