Another Successful U.S. Arabian Nationals Concludes In Louiseville

Over 2,000 horses battled for cash and prizes at the 36th Annual U.S. National Arabian & Half-Arabian Championship Horse Show held October 11-19, in Louisville, Kentucky. More than 20 officials were needed for a full slate of classes that demonstrated the versatility of the Arabian Horse including dressage, hunter, jumper, working cow horse, cutting, reining and trail as well as the customary performance classes.

One of the exceptional classes of the show was the Arabian Park class that named Apollopalooza as the unanimous champion with Carmelle Rooker of Fenton, Michigan, in the irons for Esprit Arabians. The unanimous reserve champion was Aequus+//, with Bill Rodgers of Streetsboro, Ohio, for owners Circle G Stables. The Varian owned three-year-old, Khantina Girl, ridden by Bill Porcher, a 2001 USA Equestrian of Honor, of Santa Ynez, California, defeated 43 others to win the $30,000 Arabian Western Pleasure Futurity.

Hucklebey Berry+/ and Bob Battaglia of Boerne, Texas, made their last show ring appearance by presenting the American flag during the Saturday evening opening ceremonies. A bronze sculpture by Jill McKinney and commissioned by Bob Battaglia for Empress Arabians was unveiled during the show.
