The Road to Horse is an annual event where the country's tops trainers compete to show their skills. A Remuda (or group of horses) is chosen that are similar in age (2) and conformation. They want the trainers to have a level playing field as much as possible for the competition.In 2006, Stacy Westfall was the first woman trainer to compete. She not only competed...she WON! The horse she trained during the Road to the Horse she actually decided to buy during the show at the end of the competition where they compete with the horses they trained. She named him Popcorn.
Popcorn is doing very well and Stacy is planning on showing him in the future. She also was the first to name her horse officially during the competition. It seems that Stacy and her horse Roxy aren't the only famous pair in her stable as Popcorn has a huge following as well!
No trackbacks.
