During the 2nd Annual Virginia Gaited Jubilee and FOSH Mid-Atlantic
Regionals July 29 & 30 in Lexington, Va, I had the pleasure of
representing New
Vocations Racehorse Adoption Program.
On this trip I met, and was very much impressed by, Muchacho Travieso
and
his owner Ellie. They competed against some of the best in the region
and won
the OGB Country Pleasure Juvenile, Two Gait Championship.
Muchacho Travieso showed the IJA Judge a beautiful and natural display
of
the classic Paso gaits. "ChaChi" and Ellie blue ribboned numerous times
over
the two day show. This team will be in competition at the National Paso
Fino
Horse Show in Perry, GA later this year.
Ellie and ChaChi are members of and show in the Paso Fino Horse
Association
and the Montpelier Horseketeers 4-H Riding Club, Montpelier, VA.
Pictured are
a tired but elated Ellie, 13 yrs old and ChaChi, 6 yr old gelding.
Congratulations and Good Luck Ellie and ChaChi at the Nationals! |
