ArizonaRealCountry.com 51 June 2019 Horse people know how to have fun. This year at the Carousel Charity Horse Show we had a great group of ladies who traveled from Sun Valley, Idaho, to Scottsdale. This was their first time undertaking such a long trip and these ladies and their horses enjoyed the Arizona sun. The ladies ride together on Peruvian Horses in the Sawtooth Mountains and are no strangers to trail riding. What they were strangers to was rail work and maneuvers in an arena. Under the guidance of trainer Nicole Brass and a weekend of coaching from Danell Adams, a California judge, the ladies entered all the Novice classes (Gait, Equitation, and Performance) and did a bang up job. Serious faces entering the arena became big smiles exiting the arena with their ribbons. Among the top winners was Michelle Metzger of Ketchum, Idaho, who took home the High Point Novice award, a beautiful belt buckle. Her horse was PVR Montezuma. Our thanks to the Idaho group, Elizabeth Tierney, Teri Szombathy, Joyce Almas, Danielle Campagna, Michelle Metzger, and Nicole Brass, as well as Novice riders Amber Milligan and Natalie Braverman both from California. Most importantly, the role of the 8 horses from Idaho, primarily mountain trail horses, shows the versatility of the Peruvian Horse. Our pride in the breed stems from its ability to be challenged in new settings, its hardiness and its innate kindness, strength, and intelligence. In preparation for the US National Peruvian Show to be held at WestWorld in October, the show committee has formed and is working hard on the details that make a show of this size a reality. We are anticipating horses from many farms and ranches across the United States and Canada. We’ll feature more on this big show in future months.
