"The Congress was huge, amazing, and slightly overwhelming, but I felt right at home," Chelsea says.

Looking back on 2011, I am elated with how last year has played out. I had always talked about how I wished we could travel to other states to show, and also go to more big shows. Now, recalling this past year, it's hard to believe that I was truly living my dream. For those who don’t know me, my name is Chelsea Carlson, I was the 2011 President of the Oregon Quarter Horse Youth Association, and devoted horse-crazed girl.

According to Stephanie, taking Jackie out of retirement was completely unplanned but it makes her smile because she is the perfect horse for the job. Pictured here Jackie with Tate.

Little did she know, she would own a once-in-a-lifetime show mare and broodmare turned therapeutic riding horse, turned show horse again for Stephanie's son and mother.

"The best part is that Collin gets to expand his talents with a new rider, and I still get to have him around. He is a very special horse to me, and, hopefully, he will help Peyton reach some new goals as an amateur," Lange said. Photo © Jeff Kirkbride

"Splash has the combined personality of a model, athlete and dog," Jason says.
Horse showing seems to stay in your blood no matter where you end up, especially for Amateur competitor Jason Wanderer of Los Angeles, California. This New Jersey native showed as a youth on the East Coast before attending college in Colorado, and, then, finally moving to Los Angeles where he has lived for the past 13 years. During all these moves and changes, Wanderer has continued to pursue his love for horses.
