Best in Show Horse:
UPTIGHT JOSE
- Reasoning: This horse has an impressive track record, being a World Champion in 2022, 2021, 2020, and 2019. At this show, it won the Amateur Mares/Geldings class, showcasing consistent excellence and dominance over multiple years.
Best in Show Rider:
Joe Lester
- Reasoning: Joe Lester secured two first-place finishes in competitive categories:
- Trail Pleasure Three & Under/WHTA Riders Cup (riding TALKIN TENNESSEE)
- Country Pleasure Five & Under/WHTA Riders Cup (riding NACHO BUSINESS).
His versatility and success across divisions highlight exceptional skill.
Best in Show Owner:
Bruce/Robin MacDonald
- Reasoning: Their horses earned two wins:
- UPTIGHT JOSE (Amateur Mares/Geldings), a multi-year World Champion.
