The 2013 Ohio Buckeye Show Celebrating 50 Years

by KARA LARSON The Buckeye Sweepstakes Horse Show, held from May 2428, or Memorial Day Weekend, at the Ohio Expo Center in Columbus, Ohio, has a reputation as a high caliber Class-A horse show where a championship can mean a great deal. As the show director for over a decade, Cindy Clinton shares her thoughts on another successful Buckeye. “The Buckeye slogan is “where National Champions are made!” This is where the best of the best come to test the water in the performance divisions. You can usually make your decision here on whether or not your horse is a national contender.”

The Buckeye may offer some of the highest levels of competition of any Class-A show today, yet, there is much more to the show. The famous Progressive Party gives the exhibitors and spectators a unique opportunity to socialize and enjoy food and drinks provided by various farms at the show. Getting out of their own barn and out into the hospitality of fellow horsemen, the Arabian horse community gets to interact on a different level than the one they experience inside the show ring. Clinton sees that events like this really set the Buckeye apart from

other shows. “My favorite part is seeing everyone having a good time and knowing that the majority of the people appreciate the work. It’s taken a long time to realize you cannot make everyone happy, and even though we were down approximately 60 horses this year, we focused on the positive. This year the schedule was wonderful—that is one benefit of the numbers being down, because everyone had more time to socialize. The footing was also exceptional this year; it took us a little while to get it right, but when we did, it was worth it. The competition was tough as usual. The Buckeye does not get a lot of junior riders normally because of school not being out, however, this year those classes were incredible. I watched a JTR country class that was possibly one of the best classes of the show, if not the best.”

For Clinton, this year’s show also served as an indication of the promising future of the Arabian show industry. “Some of us wonder where we will be in another ten years. Where are the trainers and the breeders going to come from? This year’s show proved that the young trainers are here and ready to step up and take the reins.

AEPA PrEsidEnt PEtEr ConwAy How long have you been president of the AEPA? I have been involved with the AEPA since its inception. Joel Kiesner shared his vision of the concept at Scottsdale in 2006 and I was all in. I am not exactly sure when I became President, but the truth is that the organization has an outstanding Board that works as a team to make all the decisions.

row stalls became available, those young trainers were on the phone, eager to move up and fill the spots of those not there. They decorated, participated in parties, and made it known they are here and have the talent to carry on into the future. This year was the 50th anniversary of the Buckeye and it confirmed that we have the talented and dedicated individuals to carry on into the next 50.”

As Cindy Clinton and all involved in the show move forward, they hope to uphold the Buckeye as a show willing to grow and evolve with the times, all the while keeping those loyal to the show looking forward to next year. “I hope the Buckeye is an example that our shows can be fun, exciting, and open to trying new things because if we don’t, we are going to disappear. We have too many things to compete with nowadays.” In trying new things, the Buckeye is not afraid to be the first in line. “Lisa Blackstone’s Horse Show App is an example of trying new things. The exhibitors and people at home love it. We were also one of the first to try Arabian Horse Global’s live feed. It’s a

What is special about the AEPA? The AEPA is all about making it more fun and profitable to be involved with Arabian English Performance horses. Everything from developing an objective scoring system to funding large prize money classes is focused on that objective. We wrote a manifesto that defines what an English Performance horse should be, what is desirable and what is not, so that breeders and judges can all be on the same page and work toward a common goal of ever better judging and ever better breeding. The large prize money classes reward excellence in breeding and training. They also draw people’s attention and create excitement about owning and showing these incredible horses.

What was the class at the Buckeye? The AEPA Buckeye Yearling In-Hand English Futurity is unique in our breed. The class judges yearlings on their potential to become English Performance horses using specific scored attributes. It is a chance for breeders to showcase their program and to see what other breeders are producing. I personally find it a fantastic opportunity to see what particular bloodlines are working well, etc. One would have to travel all over the country for a chance to see that many yearlings that were bred using English Performance lines. It is also educational to see those same horses perform a few years later under saddle.

Why is the Buckeye a good show for this class? It is well attended and at a good time of the year. We can bring the yearling in and teach them to trot in-hand, show them at the end of May, and then turn them back out to pasture to grow up. All in all, it is a great experience for them. And this year, it was a great class of yearlings. I would have gladly taken any one of them home with me!

What do you hope the AEPA does for the Arabian English horse? I hope it gets more people to participate in the English Performance division—really, that is the whole point. We want it to be fair, fun, and rewarding.

different world than it was twenty years ago. A lot of people just cannot make it to the show anymore; they are too busy.

It’s amazing how many emails I receive from parents and grandparents thanking us for having the live feed. Change is hard, but we have to step up and try new things.”
