“Boomer” has defied all odds during his consecutive 15-year streak in the show ring. Our journey together began with a remarkable debut at the age of five, winning his first National Championship in the 13 & Under Show Hack class at Youth Nationals in 2011. This win marked the start of our unbreakable bond, securing his status as the epitome of a Specialty horse (thanks in part to his Dutch Harness breeding) – which is fitting, because Boomer is very special indeed.
Boomer’s exceptional athleticism and captivating presence (four perfect-white socks and high tail carriage) earned him 58 top victory passes – adorned with roses around his neck – at Nationals, Regionals and Scottsdale throughout his career.
Boomer has been a cherished member of the Aguilera family since 2010, after catching the eye of trainer, Kim Christy, with his spunky personality and distinct four white feet. Over the years, Boomer excelled with countless trainers too long to list – each one part of the journey and offering something different for Boomer to ride for the roses. Though we once believed that Boomer’s competitiveness would be limited to the youth division, he not only held his own and excelled, but also earned four more National titles as an Adult Amateur horse under the training of Stachowski Farm, CA, with the exceptional training of Jonathan Ramsay, Nestor Gonzales, and most recently, Mikayla Michels.
FAVORITE MEMORY
From the early days cuddling with him in his stall, to exhilarating hours spent running during lessons, each moment contributed to our unspeakable bond. Boomer has such a zest for life, and so much energy, that over a year ago during a ride, he snapped both reins and ran a few laps in the arena before stopping.
One show memory that stands out from the rest, however, was our Unanimous National Championship win in 2021 when Boomer was 15 years young. This achievement fulfilled a long-held dream for us as a team. Boomer’s recognition as the first recipient of the Megatropolis BF award added an extra layer of significance to this remarkable accomplishment. Every ride in the show ring over the next three years felt like icing on top of the cake.
RETIREMENT PLANS
After a decade and a half of giving his all in the show ring, Boomer plans to retire at my best friend, Taylor Story, and her family’s Elsinore Arabian Stud, located in the greater Temecula area. It’s fitting, as the Story family has been part of Boomer’s journey since the very beginning. Embracing this new chapter, Boomer will enjoy the California sunshine, frolicking in the pasture, and indulging in his playful nature. And for the first time, I can enjoy Boomer’s company without the pressures of competition. Trail and carefree rides will become the norm – hopefully without the over excited but occasional (and accidental buck off).
