Something new to the
Classic in 2009 was the Charity Class; we invited riders to
enter the “mystery” class with proceeds going to the charity
of their choice; the specs only said the horse must be able
to walk, trot and canter.
Judge Anne Judd asked the
spectators “What did we want? Serious or fun? Pleasure or
Command?” Overwhelmingly, Command was the favorite choice
and so the class ran as a Command class but it did have a
twist….I believe 12 entries took up the challenge and when
we were down to the last four horses, Judge Anne shook thing
up a bit.
She asked the remaining four riders to
perform something of their choice down the long rail only.
They had to really dig deep and impress her!
All
four entries laid down some beautiful pattern work but it
was Greg Reeves and his wife’s quarter horse Cher that stole
the show with their flying changes down the rail.
There was only one award for that class and Greg and Cher
stood proudly in front of the win sign to accept the red
ribbon and the Henry Equestrian Plan Cooler and the money
will go to the Canadian Cancer Society.
It was a fun
way to end the Saturday portion of the show and the judge,
riders and spectators had a great time participating.
