Several breeds of gaited horses competed in the 67th year of Germantown’s most well know show. Classes included: American Saddlebred 5-gaited and 3-gaited, Single Footing, Speed Racking, multiple Tennessee Walking Horse flat shod categories and Paso Finos. The most exciting classes, and crowd favorites, were the Speed Racking!
In Thursday night’s Amateur/Owner Paso Fino Performance, Norman Timbs’ El Valeroso de LM won the class, with Greg Branstetter placing second on Excelencia BF. Roberta Burns’ DAjA Vu was third and Brandon Branstetter was fourth riding Directa BF.
In the Paso Fino Pleasure Championship, the Michael and Cindi Gascon’s Baba Lu took top honors. Jaime Gascon rode Privilegio de Quisqueya to the Paso Fino Classic Fino Championship.
The Paso Fino Performance Championship went to Norman and Debbie Timbs’ El Valeroso de LM, shown by Carmen Micheletti.
In Thursday’s Speed Racking Class, Rowdy Rawhides Wiley, owned & shown by Bobby Parks, won the class. But in Heat 2 on Friday night, Jason Todd got the blue ribbon on Miss Undertaker. The pair came back on Saturday night to win the Racking Horse finals. Jacob Parks was reserve Champion on Bobby Parks’ Falcon’s Blue Ribbon. The pair’s fast action also won the Ultimate SHOBA Single-Footing class on Friday night.
Carrie Kessler rode CH Red Hot Mamma to win the ASB Amateur Western Country Pleasure class and the Saddle & Bridle Shatner Western Pleasure class on Friday night. She was back again Saturday night to sweep the ASB Amateur Western Country Pleasure Championship.
