On the 2nd and 3rd of November, WAQHA held its Annual Multi Judged Show in which competitors could be judged by both Peter Bellden and Joanne Gregory at the same time to earn both AA and A points. Peter Bellden our AA Judge is from Peachester, QLD, while Joanne Gregory is an accredited Judge from Glenmore Park, NSW. Saturday started out warm and just got hotter so it was great to see everyone braving the hot sunny day to participate in the Halter breed (inc Open, Youth and Amateur), Showmanship and some “English” style events such as the Hunter in Hand and Hunter under Saddle classes. Both Peter and Joanne picked the 1st place getters consistently while the rest of placings varied at times. It was good to see the judges, judging independently of each other and selecting their own choice horses.

After the Halter breed classes the Showmanship classes started with a strong line up in the Amateur Showmanship with 16 handlers competing. The Showmanship class, where the handler completes a set pattern, is judged on accuracy, presentation and performance of the handler controlling the horse. Yearling led trail is an obstacle course for the yearlings to be led through and over. Obstacles usually include poles, cones and a bridge and gate. Gary Eglinton with Tally S Da Vinci placed 1st with Janeen McRobert and Made in China placed second. Last of the Led classes was the Hunter in Hand (HIH) class in which horses are geared up in an English plain bridle and handlers usually wear slacks and plain shirt.
