Maiden Incentive Winners TWHBEA NEWS TWHBEA offered a couple of monetary incentives for this year’s International Maiden Championship, held on July 28 in conjunction with the International Grand Championship Walking Horse Show. “The Maiden” is for two-year-old Trail Pleasure horses that have not been previously shown under saddle. The horses made their showring debut in the preliminary class on Wednesday night. Out of 64 entries, 28 were selected to return for the championship. TWHBEA offered $500 to the breeder of the champion and another $500 to the owner of the highest-placing entry that was already nominated for the National Futurity. Jalapeno and Joe Lester claimed the championship title for owners Kimberly and Perry Walden. Jalapeno is by Jose’ Jose’ and out of Drop Right In.

Owners Jack and Patricia Pirkle will receive the $500 incentive check.

Board Resignations in Kentucky and Washington The Executive Committee has accepted the resignations of Spencer Benedict, Carrie Benedict, and Linda Arnold. Carrie and Spencer Benedict resigned as directors from Kentucky following their recent move to Tennessee. Carrie’s seat went to the alternate in that election - Sheree Bollinger, who will complete her term through 2024. Spencer’s seat will be filled in this year’s election; his term lasts through 2024. The top three vote-getters in Kentucky will serve full three-year terms and the fourth will serve the remainder of Spencer’s term. Linda Arnold has resigned as director from Washington.

TWHBEA NEWS 2023 Gaited Experience Canada Submitted by: Lisa Adams-Bozak The 2023 Gaited Experience will definitely be one to remember. This year we had Justice Carter from California and Denise Bader from Germany visit. We honestly could not have asked for two better complimented trainers that have never worked together before. Each trainer had a pointed goal with every horse. I know I’m speaking for myself but I have no doubt in my mind that all the riders’ goals were met over the three days. I also know that they learned way more then they ever could have expected. For me personally, I took two youngsters with few rides on them and I came back with new horses. Couldn’t have done it without them We had 21 horses and riders go through the three-day clinic. I know I was tired; I can’t even imagine how Justice and Denise felt. They continued to be knowledgeable and professional every minute. Their uncanny ability to support every horse and rider pair is unmatched. Watching them work together on separate sides of the arena was definitely reassuring and inspiring. None of this would have even been possible without the USLG funding and TWHBEA. I really hope we can have future events like this. I am honoured to have been a part of this and excited to see the growth. 193 The Voice • August 2023

Alabama Walking Horse Ladies Auxiliary Show Jamie Lawrence directed Holyfields My Papa to the championship title for owner Tim Tucker of Cullman, Alabama Photo by Sid Abernathy In recent years the Alabama Walking Horse Ladies Auxiliary (AWHLA) has held their annual horse show in the indoor Celebration Arena in Priceville, Alabama, but the closure of the arena forced them to find a new home. The group selected Baileyton Park in nearby Baileyton, Alabama as the site for their 12th annual show. Traditionally held in May, that was the plan for this year until Mother Nature intervened. Without the luxury of an indoor arena, the show was rescheduled for July 28. Ryan Gannon of McMinnville, Tennessee judged the 31 classes on the schedule. Although temperatures dropped to a comfortable level when the sun went down, unusually hot weather and temperatures nearing 100 degrees during the week caused several exhibitors to make the decision not to show. Thankfully the show was fully sponsored which will allow the AWHLA the continued ability to fund a scholarship and donate to Smile-A-Mile, an Alabama charity that helps those in the State who are affected by childhood cancer thrive during treatment and the years beyond. With wins in Huntsville and Arab so far, Holyfields My Papa and Jamie Lawrence earned their third championship title in their home state this year when they claimed the tri-colors at the AWHLA show. The champion, sired by Holyfield and out of Pasadoble’, by Jose It Ain’t So, is owned by Tim Tucker of Cullman, Alabama. Taking home the reserve honors was Jason Bourne, ridden by Gary Wayne Smith and owned by Barry George. The Voice • August 2023 196
