Current Australian Champions and Perth Royal Champion Galloway and Hack Bevanlee Folklore and Pembrooke Park Princeton dominated from the start with Champion and Reserve respectively in the prestigious Saddles Plus Arabian Derivative Show Horse class from a massive 34 entries. Mrs Taylor Theis was extremely complimentary about the standard of the ridden derivatives. This year also saw the largest ever Leading Rein class entered at a WAAHA show, with eight delightful combinations presenting to the judge, and all going home with a prize. On Sunday Mr Scanzi presided over the purebred Arabian halter classes where he appeared much more at ease and many of the crowd favourites rose to the top. Special mention needs to be made of Chelleason Magnum’s Gold who won his halter class as well as the Hillross Financial Arabian Show Horse, western pleasure, Elementary dressage, show costume and a few youth classes in his quest to qualify for the 2013 Australian Championships. All winners from the WA Championships were lucky enough to receive free entry into the same classes at ‘the Aussies’ and the committee wish those making the big trip the best of luck.
