After sitting out the required five years, former World and Congress Champion open rider, Brian Isbell of Atlanta, Georgia has just started a new chapter in his horse show career as a Non Pro.

Recent surgery and a trailer fire on the way to the NSBA World Championship show weren't big enough obstacles to keep twenty one year-old Hope Elizabeth D'Alessio of Brownwood, Texas from having great success in Tulsa last week. Hope just returned from the NSBA World Championship show where she and her horse, Invested in Cookies, were World Champions in the Non Pro Showmanship, Intermediate Non Pro Showmanship, and the Limited Non Pro Horsemanship.

Non-Pro rider Kaleena Weakly has had great success with prospects by Pine View Farms' stallion, Lazy Loper, and the 2012 NSBA World Championship show in Tulsa, Oklahoma was no exception. The show didn't start exactly the way Weakly would have liked with her brand new two year-old, Caught Me Looking, but it had a fairytale ending.

GoHorseShow would like to congratulate new mom, Kristen Galyean on making her debut in the Western Riding on VS Code Red (Waylon) at the NSBA World Show.

The NSBA World Championship Show held in Tulsa, Oklahoma in August each year draws a diverse group of top riders and talented horses. One noteworthy feature of the NSBA World Championship Show is that it offers five World Championship classes for riders with disabilities (RWD). Competition is motivating for these riders but many of the riders need financial support in order to participate.

The NSBA Hall Of Fame was established to recognize those individuals and horses that have made significant contributions to the NSBA with exhibition and constant promotion of the Pleasure Horse.
