Roses And Chocolate definitely
made an impression at the APHA
World Championship Show. The
gelding jumped to a lead in
three high-point races and
never looked
back. “Marty” soon sat
atop not only the All-Around
Horse race, but also the
High-Point English Horse and
Super Gelding
standings.

his way through the pattern,
ending up with a unanimous
decision for a second world

There is no need to compromise
on Western Pleasure talent
like Never Compromise has. In
a tough field of 24 young
Western Pleasure stars, the
elusive championship prize
seemed wide-open. After judges
called for the 3-year-olds’
best walk, jog, extended jog
and lope, Never Compromise and
Rusty Green emerged
victorious. With powerful
gaits and a striking coat
pattern, Never Compromise is a
favorite in the Green barn—and
in the heart of his owner,
Claire Binkowski.

Charles and Kay Simmelink knew
Barlnk Classic Fox was
special. Though she was
somewhat Throughbred-like in
type when she was young, the
buckskin overo mare soon began
filling out—growing bigger and
gaining more muscle each
season. With their mare now a
3-year-old, the Simmelinks
knew they needed to give her
the opportunity to shine on
the biggest Paint Horse stage:
the APHA World Championship
Show.
