Madison Vance
GOPHC would
like to showcase member Madison Vance, she is
the 10 year old daughter of Gary and Karen Vance
of Pawnee, Ok. Madison has been showing horses
her entire life. In 2010, her show partner is
Miss Classicscotch; a 1995 Palomino Overo mare.
This is the third year for Madison and "Ritzy"
to be a team.
2009 was great for Madison and "Ritzy", The most
exciting event was the Palomino World Show where
they won the Walk Trot All-Around division and
earned two Reserve World Championships. The team
also competed at Paint Congress winning the Walk
Trot All-Around award there also. "Ritzy" and
Madison were Reserve All Around at Tulsa March
Mania and OPHC's 2009 Holiday Classic. Madison
is very excited to be able to lope at the shows,
she and "Ritzy" made their debut in January in
the Novice Youth Division and Youth 13 & Under.
Madison is currently leading the nation for "APHA
2010 Rookie Of The Year"
Letter from the President
Well, here we are starting the month of July.
Over half the show season has come and gone and
some of us are already preparing our babies for
the futurities. Although this generally means a
lot of work and long hours in the barn it is
important to remember to have fun.
I recently had the opportunity to work with
multiple judges at several shows. Even though
the days were long, some classes seemed to drag
on and the weather less than ideal I was
impressed with their enthusiasm, positive
attitudes and passion for our sport.
As we enter into the second half of the show
season I wish all exhibitors and horses great
success, whether it be in the show arena or not.
But, first and foremost, I hope that we all
rekindle our passion and enthusiasm for these
magnificent animals we adore and love and
remember to have FUN!
Respectfully,
Bob G. Alberding
