Miniature Horse show event - Liberty
Jul 31, 2010
A favorite event at miniature horse shows across the country is the "Liberty" class. In Liberty, the horse is released in the show ring by its handler and allowed to run freely around the ring, accompanied by lively music. The horse is judged on how it uses the entire arena, displays all gaits, and how well its movement fits the music (or vice versa). After a minute and thirty seconds, the music is stopped and the handler has only another 90 seconds to catch the horse. Shown here is Beloveds Hallelujah Creation at the 2007 Silver Jubilee AMHA show in Springfield, Ohio.

The Big Horse Show
Jul 30, 2010
This is an extraordinary showing of some of the most athletic magnificent powerful horses on earth. World's Largest Trick Horse in the Guinness Book "BASH" does tricks that should not be possible for a horse of his enormous size and he performs with "BARLOW" the World's Smallest Trick Horse in the Guinness Book . Barlow shows extreme courage to get on that tall stand under "BASH" who weighs 2160 pounds, and gaining daily. The horse's have great balance that is proven when they get on their tall stand together showing precise skill. We also have an extraordinary English Shire named "Bullet" that adds to the show with amazing tricks, and "BARBIE" is a double registered Miniature horse that wares a cute little pink cheerleading costume that is a favorite with the children.

Duncan: Sussex County Horse Show, 08/08/08
Jul 31, 2010
Duncan and I showed in the Pre-Adult Jumper division at the Sussex County Horse Show today--the first time I ever showed a horse of my own in an A-rated horse show! My primary goals for us were to a) continue to build confidence in the schooling ring (land of chaos, where Duncan constantly believes he will be smashed into), b) take a bolder approach to the courses, encouraging him to be in front of my leg more consistently, c) remember my courses without having to make corrective turns, and d) keep my position as consistent as possible. I feel that we accomplished all of these goals--we had some horses cut us off in the schooling rings (even, at times, when there was about a football field-sized area to turn in...they always turn in front of me! argh!), and while I could tell he wanted to jet one way or another, I reassured him that we'd survive, and he believed me. I remembered all of my courses just fine, and while I'm certainly not perfect, I feel my position is more consistent than it was in the previous show. Duncan was considerably more forward at this show; at times, he was acting the way he does at home when he's having a hyper moment. We got a funky distance to the red and white oxer in our third course, and he let me know by doing some mini-broncs on our approach to our next jump. I'm just glad he tuned back in and let me refocus him in time! We still have some funky lead stuff going on at times, but he did manage to do a complete change at the end of one of the ...

FTI Grand Prix Hampton Classic Horse Show Jump-Off
Jul 31, 2010
McLain Ward Makes History Winning the $250000 FTI Grand Prix Bridgehampton, NY-August 30, 2009- McLain Ward of Brewster, NY, made history at the Hampton Classic Horse Show by winning the $250000 FTI Grand Prix and FEI World Cup Qualifier for a record fourth time on his two-time Olympic team gold medal horse, Sapphire, owned by Ward and Blue Chip Bloodstock. Previously, Ward was tied with Margie Engle and Rodney Jenkins with three victories each. Unlike Saturday, the weather for the FTI Grand Prix was beautiful. Expectations were high, but the first clean round did not come until the thirteenth rider, Judy Garofalo Torres of Dover Plains, NY, riding Higher Ground Farm's Oliver. Torres had to wait a long time to see if anyone in the field of 33 could challenge her fault-free performance. One by one the best riders and horses in the country were beaten by the Conrad Homfeld designed course as rails continued to fall. "I was kind of surprised," said Torres of the lack of clean rounds. "My horse did so well. I did think there would be a few more clears. I was getting pretty excited at the end." The possibility of no jump-off was finally erased by the day's last rider, McLain Ward, and his 14-year-old, Belgian warmblood mare. The audience collectively held its breath as Sapphire negotiated the fences without fault creating a battle of the sexes for the jump-off; Ward on his mare and Torres on her 19-year-old stallion. Torres went first in the tiebreaker and rode conservatively ...
