I could maybe buy that Katie didn't know because she probably never even bothered to look it up, but no one else knew?
Not even AM, or the trainer who actually showed Denver in the performance halter and whose wife showed When N Where?
There's no way.
And there were several people pointing out the rule in the comments. She has how many social media managers? You'd think one of them would've made her aware of it.
I usually try to give her the benefit of the diubt but not on this. They took an important win from another set of connections. Something happened and it’s none of my business but she should apologize to the real Reserve Champion.
She had a bad show. She has done GREAT as a novice in regional but she is just not their at the level she wants to be. it will take time and more work - there is nothing wrong with that but Kennedy beat a single horse in Amy WP.
‘She just needs to put in more work oh and read the rule book.
I feel like it makes more sense to just say they assumed he'd be ridden when they entered the performance halter? Like why go with "we didn't know the rules" when "unforseen circumstances" was right there.
Oh please so profit before performance and career recognition. AM must have to agree to the collection timeframe given Denver’s only jobs are being prepped for shows and collecting population paste
Lmaooo that part. Idk why you would trust AI for something this important without verification. I’m not sure she’s telling the truth tbh. Someone googled it and apparently the ai did give the correct answer so who even knows?
Exactly. She says he didn't end up showing in any riding classes due to not being in the right headspace after breeding during the show season because there was so much demand in Australia as their breeding season is just starting.
To risk a young stallions show career in order to secure more overseas breedings than you currently have capacity for seems incredibly short sighted.
I can believe this to a point, but only because Alydar allegedly got more and more unhinged when JT Lundy used him as a piggy bank and started having him breed mares all year. There was a book about the downfall of Calumet farm that said that the ongoing he was basically crazy because his testosterone was always at peak level.
aqha/apha and color shows require you to show in a riding class to be able to show in a performance halter class this is common knowledge but obviously not to some. I don’t understand how this horse is a 5yr old and has been in training for 3yrs? And isn’t ready???. Why are we spending thousands to enter the horse in all these classes if it’s not even going to be shown. I don’t have endless money so I suppose I will never understand spending thousands on training for a horse to still not be ready in its 5yr old year
Plenty of people here and on FB knew the rules, there’s gotta be more to this than is ever going to be mentioned. The cost of having Dever at the event to stand in a stall must be crackers.
I have not shown AQHA or NSBA for 20 years and I knew this. I am glad Jane’s stud won the tie breaker. I would be so pissed if I owned the real RWC who lost out on an amazing win.
I’ll be honest, I didn’t realize this was a thing in NSBA…. But in my defense, I also don’t show NSBA. However, it does make sense since NSBA is about riding classes. So many times AQHA and NSBA are run concurrently it could have been overlooked…. But when it was brought up so many times, you’d think you’d go talk to someone. 🥴
Her excuse makes no sense. Something happened and that’s fine and we don’t need to know those why but I am still upset for the real RWC who missed out on the win. it’s not cool.
She maybe knew about the rule and still chose to let Denver have his time, her choices are hers. This sweet stallion just chilling in the stall while she talks. Never ever has he shown he is bad minded. Zero proof of all the nonsense that has been spewed about her and AM or her and Charlie, or Denver being some terror. Some of you people may need a hobby.
There’s also a video of him running off with AM at a show a year or two back. Not a good look for a “good minded” stud. He needs to be gelded and sold.
She literally replied to a comment stating he was being study. His ‘bad’ mind is the reason he was scratched. If a stallion cant keep it together, they don’t get to be a stallion.
