First up was the Old Salem Spring Show in New Salem, NY. Many
of the top jumper riders make Old Salem a stop on their annual tour of the
northeast making for great competition and great spectating. Amid a beautiful
setting, both Todd Minikus and Beezie Madden found success on the scenic grass
course with multiple wins a piece.
Next stop was a visit around Texas horse country. We
checked in with Lindy Burch, Kory Pounds and Matt Gaines, all of whom are
getting ready for the upcoming NCHA Summer Spectacular in July. Not far removed
from the Super Stakes this spring, the Purina cutting horse ambassadors are
busy with foals on the ground, maintaining their current competition strings
and already prepping for the NCHA Futurity this winter.
Last stop was the $125,000 Purina Grand Prix at
HITS-on-the-Hudson in Saugerties, NY. We had a few days of rain but the sun was
out for the Sunday grand prix class. Todd Minikus continued on with his winning
ways with several wins during his stint at HITS with standouts like the spunky
mare, Quality Girl.
Next on the list is the AjPHA Youth World Championship
Show in Fort Worth, TX. The Youth World show starts June 29th and
should bring in some of the top young riding talent in a variety of classes and
not mention colors! It’s always exciting to see young riders excelling and
enjoying their horses and Purina is proud to be a part of this year’s show.
