Saturdays are usually big days at Judd Stables filled with friends, food, and festivities!  Today was no exception... everyone is gearing up for the 2011 show season and getting back into the swing of things after a break for the holidays. 
 Dr. Steve Gilman debuted with his new pleasure driving gelding "Carissimo" for the always supportive Judd Stables group as well as lots of other teams - experienced and new!  
A great morning was followed by a "Horse Show Meeting" at Hungry Harry's Barbeque - enjoying lunch and making plans for our 2011 Schooling Show.  We look forward to lots of great things to come!

Judd Stables had a triumphant show at the World Championships.  It was the first time showing at Louisville for two of Judd Stables riders, Jenna Palmeri and Christine Freeman.  Both had impressive first time outs.  It may have been Jenna’s first time at Louisville but it defiantly was not Discover’s.  This team left the show World Champions with the 13 and Under Show Pleasure Division II title topping multiple past world champions.  Christine Freeman and Mo Rhythm made their debut at the World’s an impressive one.  They were 3rd in the 14-17 Show Pleasure Division II qualifier and placed a very exciting 4th in the 14-17 Show Pleasure World’s Championship, placing over the horse that won her qualifier and Lexington’s 15-17 Grand Champion, to name a few.  Jackie De La Parte and Keeper of the Stars had a beautiful show in the 15 year old Equitation class leaving the ring with 4th place over Lexington’s Senior Pleasure Equitation Grand Champion along with many other talented riders.  The next night Jackie and Keeper showed in the Junior Exhibitor Three Gaited 14-17 Division II qualifier and went home with the World Champion Title.  Stephanie Lockyer and CH My Special Sultan had a good show in the 14-17 Show Pleasure class.  Maria had a busy week showing Walterway’s Church Me and Essence of Heaven for Barbara Woods and Amber Lager for Anitya Marlowe.  Walterway’s Church Me was shown in the ASHA National 3-Year-Old Five-Gaited Futurity and earned a notable 8th place ribbon.  Maria guided the elegant Amber Lager to 4th place behind 3 world champions in the Ladies over 15.2 Three Gaited class.  Essence of Heaven earned 7th place in the Ladies Five Gaited Mare class.  Congratulations to all the exhibitors and trainers at this year’s Worlds Championship Horse Show.

This was Jenna's first trip to Freedom Hall.

What the National Horseman Online had to say about our two new world champions:

 

Division Two of Junior Exhibitor Three-Gaited Pleasure 13-and-Under sported 17 entries. CH Discover, long a gaited horse for Barbara Woods before making the transition to Junior Exhibitor Park and eventually Pleasure for young Jenna Palmeri, proved that he has still got it all. In an extremely tough split, CH Discover raised up and got bigger and bolder with every pass.

 

And perhaps the most memorable moment of an evening filled with surprises and outstanding performances was Keeper of the Stars show in the second division. So many riders entertained us so well in this best horse show session to date in 2007. Yet 15-year-old Jacquelyn De La Parte stood on her own, making a show that told us what were about. It was the overall picture that did it. Keeper of the Stars is tall and long-necked, with a big wide open trot and a way of moving that is all airily flowing grace. Jackie is petite. Yet she suits the big horse perfectly. She has a smile that can only be genuine. When a pretty girl like her rides a beautiful horse that never backs an ear, they’re telling you they’re in horse show heaven. Jackie’s ride on Keeper of the Stars compared with Betsy Thomas go on New York’s Perfect Gift the night before, and for that matter with Kim Cowart's on Tonto tonight. Each rider told you without saying a word why they got into this business. They love it because it gives them the happiest moments of their lives.

What Saddle Horse Report Online had to say:

 

The longtime five-gaited mount of Barbara Woods and then a Park horse, CH Discover has found another division in which to succeed. Don Judd and Maria Gilman joined rider Jenna Palmeri in the winner’s circle.

 

Keeper Of The Stars and Jackie De la Parte have the look - with his swanlike neck and chiseled head and her beauty - they represented the division well.  Tonight they were on the money as they made pass after pass to win their first World’s Champion title together for the Judd Stables banner.
