Showtime LLC Open Show - Mt. Hood Equestrian Center

Our first show of the year was on Jan. 26-27 at the Mt. Hood Equestrian Center.  This was an open show put on by https://www.facebook.com/ShowTimeLlc?fref=ts.  They do such a great job, have great prizes and are super fun to show with!  We always look forward to their shows.




Kerry and Lola had their best showing ever in the Halter classes and received 1st place in their classes on day 2 of the show!

Also on day 2, the Showmanship patter included a forehand turn with a back up to the Judge.


Kerry and Lola handled this beautifully and were again rewarded with 1st place results!  Overall it was a great weekend of showing.

Kerry ended the weekend winning High Point Jr. Horse and received another gorgeous belt buckle!  She is starting to collect hardware like her Dad!






A lot of success, a few lessons learned and some things to work on for the next show.  And as always
we're really proud of both Kerry and Lola!

2012 Year-End Awards

There are any number of Paint horse clubs you can belong to.  These clubs host breed shows thoroughout the year and are sanctioned by the American Paint Horse Assoc. (APHA).  You are required to be a member of a club in order to participate in year-end awards etc.

We joined the Oregon Paint Horse Club for 2012 and they hosted the majority of the paint shows we attended in Albany, OR.  At their annual year-end awards brunch in December, Kerry was awareded the 13-Under High Point award!  It was really exciting and we are so proud of her!


On January 19th we went to Hood River, OR for the NW Coordinating Committee's year end awards banquet.  The NWCC is responsible for tracking all the show points earned by eligible competitors duriing the show season.  This was a large event and it was great to see and acknowledge the accomplishments of everyone we'd showed with all season.

Kerry received honors for Reserve Champion in both 13-Under and Novice Youth Western Pleasure.  Her best friend Karli was the 13-Under High Point Champion along with numerous Champion awards in individual catagories.  We are all proud of them and how they represented Ambition Performance Horses all year.  And now they can enjoy all the goodies they earned!
