The 113th UPHA American Royal National Championship Brought Tears and Cheers By Lauren Jackson Kansas City, MO-The UPHA American Royal Championship was held Nov.12th-Nov.17th 2012 at Kemper Arena; American Royal Complex, Kansas City, MO. This year’s show proceeded with all the traditions, excitement and adrenaline and provided a venue for the world’s greatest of Saddlebreds and Hackneys to perform, compete and win. Monday night started off the celebration with a movie night showing old reels of some of the greatest American Royal Shows, offering a night of nostalgia with a touch of anticipation of “what may come.” Tuesday night honored Dr. Robert “Bud” Hertzog with the American Royal Horse Person of the Year. He was honored for his 50 years of service as the official veterinarian of the American Royal. A reception was held in his honor in the Exhibitor’s Club. Wednesday night, the Missouri’s Breeder’s Association hosted their Annual Stallion Auction with drinks and refreshments. On Thursday evening, after another full day of competition ,the UPHA Classics Incentive Auction for Yearlings and Two Year Olds was held at the Hale Arena. Everyone enjoyed themselves with more food and drinks and bidding to place on many promising young horses. Brooke Boyer atop He’s Heaven Sent

Friday evening marked another day and night of fierce competition. Immediately following the Ladies Five-Gaited National Championship, everyone gathered in the Grand Hall for the “Pink Ribbon Exhibitor’s Party,” a reception honoring the courageous women who battle breast cancer. Saturday, The Grand Finale, needs no additional mention as we all watched every class intently taking note of all the week’s wins, losses and champions. The most emotional event of the week was the video Saturday night celebrating CH Attaché’s Orchid’s career. The 17 year old mare collapsed after leaving the arena Wednesday after winning the ASB ThreeGaited Pony Grand Championship. According to officials she suffered from a ruptured aorta. Many a tear rolled down the cheeks of spectators as we were moved with compassion as we watched a memorial video highlighting the life of this seven time winner at the American Royal-UPHA National Championship. Shown by Hunter Chancellor and owned by Steven and Terri Chancellor of Evansville, IN, we could only sympathize with this great loss and cheered as Hunter went on to compete and win the ASB Three-Gaited Jr. Exhibitor 14-17 Championship and the ASB Five-Gaited Jr. Exhibitor 14-17 Championship. What a night and what a week. Congratulations to all and until next year…

Daybreak Farm - a New Beginning in Tennessee By Kelley Reason Mount Juliet, TN_Daybreak Farm has found a new home in the heart of Middle, Tennessee. Earlier this year Carmella Menolasino, owner of Daybreak Farm, decided to make a change. Located near Chicago, Illinois, she decided a change was in order for her barn and business. After months of researching and visiting various areas she decided upon Mount Juliet, TN, a location about 25 minutes east of Nashville. So, they sold their farm in Illinois, downsized some of their horses, packed up their remaining horses and belongings and headed south to Tennessee. Daybreak Farm continues to offer in their new location a full featured breeding and training farm featuring gifted American Saddlebred horses with the bloodlines of record Champions, Hall of Fame broodmares, and World Champion sires. They offer saddleseat riding lessons-beginners through advanced, to all ages. Driving lessons are also available. Whether you are a rider interested in the fun of learning to ride or if you are a rider seeking the challenges of competition Daybreak Farm can accommodate! Carmella has over 25 years of teaching experience and she is ready to work with timid riders, show riders, and pleasure riders! She has lesson horses of a size and temperament to suit a riderâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s needs and goals and she always places an emphasis on safety.

Daybreak Farm On October 27, Daybreak held an open house at their new facility. It was a day filled with face painting, barbeque, riding, and silent auction selections. All moneys raised went to St Jude’s Children’s Hospital. Several great items were offered up for the silent auction-horse feed, several beautiful pieces of jewelry, yard carts, a gorgeous horse sculpture, lamps, as well as many other horsey and non horsey items. Riding demonstrations were conducted by several Daybreak riders that afternoon. To cap off a fun filled day several young horses were led out for visitors to see, as well as several of their beautiful breeding stallions. Daybreak offers their foundation sires, Go Modern and Union Town to the public for breeding in 2013. These stallions were selected for their heart, athleticism, performance, bloodline, and beauty. Daybreak prides itself on horses that are sound, having correct conformation, good-thinking minds, and trainable attitudes. Carmella points out, “We breed for excellence, but not at the price of unsoundness or malformities. Our horses are naturally gifted.” As one happy client of Daybreak put it, “My daughter started riding here 4 years ago and LOVES it! Carmella is a wonderful trainer and teacher. My daughter went from never been on a horse to showing and winning! I would recommend Daybreak Farm Riding Academy for anyone who wants to enjoy the pleasures of horseback riding. Whether you want to ride just for fun or you want to head to a horse show ring and perform, Daybreak is the best! Carmella Menolasino can be reached at 615-979-2199. The farm is located at 6073 Maddox Rd, Mt. Juliet, TN 37122 and she can be reached by email at daybreaksaddlebreds@yahoo.com.

N.C. State Fair Continues To Grow by Samantha Huff RALEIGH, NC – The final leg of the 2012 North Carolina State Fair Horse Show was held October 24th – 27th at the Gov. James B. Hunt, Jr. Horse Complex in Raleigh. This portion featured Saddlebreds, Morgans, Hackneys, and Roadsters. Warm days and cool nights were a perfect setting for a great show.

Ashley Linkous and Fort Chiswell’s Spanish Music

According to Sheri Bridges, entries increased from last year. Judge Lisa Waller had her work cut out for her because the classes were filled with exceptional horses and riders. The juvenile classes were especially tough. Many young and talented riders were making their mark on the Saddlebred World. For many exhibitors this is the final show of their season, each striving for that last “best” ride. For some that means bringing home the blue, but for some just having that perfect ride is so much more. Sometimes the smile is worth more than a blue. This show continues to grow and draw in more horses and exhibitors. Management is looking forward to seeing what happens next year. Wishing everyone good luck at their next event and here’s to an even better 2013 show.
