When it comes to showing horses, we all make
mistakes. It doesn’t matter whether you’re a pro
or a novice amateur, you’re going to mess up every
once in a while. But if you know how to keep your
eye open for mistakes before they happen, maybe
you can prevent them.

The key to keeping cool, calm and collected is having a well thought out plan, and sticking to it, that way, when you arrive at the Gateway of Champions you won’t have stressed yourself, trainer or family members out.
You put thousands of miles on your truck and trailer to get qualified and now you are sitting in the chute waiting to start your pattern at the World Show. You have a few seconds before the person in front of you finishes their pattern. They finish, the crowd starts clapping, and then it gets quiet. The judges nod, you hear your name and you start your pattern… |

My sister Ashley (right) and I travelled to Moberly, Missouri for a week of Weis Boot Camp.
Since 2003, I have attended
a boot camp every
summer preparing for Youth World. Boot camp
requires a tremendous amount of
dedication and
hard work, but I am driven knowing that all my
competitors are
doing the same in preparation as
well. Whether the other exhibitors put in time
at
their trainer’s boot camp or at home doing it
themselves, we all strive for
the same
goal…having a good ride!

A self-described rough-and-tumble kid, Rodrock makes no apologies for his upbringing. "I'm from a family that would be considered dysfunctional today," he says. "But, back then, we called it getting by."
The horse industry is full of
highly successful
individuals whom have chosen to spend their time
and
money
showing and/or breeding horses at the
top level. Have you ever wondered
how these
people became successful in their non-horse
related
business
ventures? Are they self-made,
or were they raised already
knowing the
good
life? One thing is for certain--each of these
people have fascinating stories to
tell.

In addition to being an AQHYA World Champion, Danielle Long of Anchorage, Alaska is also a former Junior Olympic downhill skier.
While Alaska is largely associated with popular
annual events like the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog
Race that starts in Anchorage and ends in Nome,
it is exciting to know that Open and AQHA horse
shows are frequently
held in the state. AQHA
judge Lita Hottel recently judged a show in
Fairbanks, Alaska and AQHYA World Champion
exhibitor Danielle Long
is from Anchorage,
Alaska and we wondered what it is like showing and
judging in this state.
