Hoof Prints As a Winner

At the time, they were a rarity in the U.S., but it’s a sure sign of the success of these pioneer breeders that ERAHC and similar organizations in the country now see at least as many “pleasure owners” at shows as we do breed- ers. After all, why breed horses unless people are going to buy, ride, and show them? In 2007, ERAHC’s Virginia Classic breed show became a USEF regional championship show. That means those showing get double points towards national awards. Of course, it also didn’t hurt that the National championship show was held in the East for the first time last year. So it should come as no surprise that there are ERAHC members high in the 2015 standings for USEF Horse of the Year (HOTY) Awards. Well, Rosalie Wenckoski did it again this year! She and Hombre Araña again took 1st Place in the A/L Amateur West- ern Pleasure division! And her trainer Mike Schmidt rode Hombre to 2nd Place in the A/L Working Western division too. Not far behind is our own vice president, Elizabeth Moros- ani, with Sonrisa TLM.
