NEWS FROM PARADOCS FARM

September was a whirlwind of shows, beginning Labor Day weekend with the trip to Indianapolis, IN , for the All American Cup Classic. Way back in 2004, the as -yet -un-born foal of "Seize the Moment" was nominated for the AAC by Jo Cornell, of Louisville , KY, because her mare failed to conceive that year. Jo had to nominate another mare bred to "Mountainview's Oh Heavenly Day", and selected ours. We are very grateful to Jo for giving us the opportunity to participate in this historic event.

In the All American Cup, the nominated foals are eligible to compete as Weanlings and again as Three Year Olds. "Oh Heavenly Moment" (a.k.a. "Andy") didn't compete as a weanling, but we decided to make the trip this year. Knowing that our chances weren't too good, we decided that it would be exciting to travel to Indianapolis and be part of the first - ever AAC Three Year Old Three Gaited Classic. This event was the highest paying Performance class in the history of American Saddlebred Shows, boasting prize money totalling $170,000!

"Andy" performed very well, but unfortunately was not one of the three year olds selected for the finals. However, we all had a great time, and enjoyed the wonderful facilities and hospitality at the Indianapolis Fairgournds. We got to visit friends in Indiana as well as spend a night each direction with Nana and Grandaddy in Chesapeake, OH.

While in Indianapolis, our photographer (Shauna) was able to capture these wonderful scenes from the land of the Hoosiers... (ANDY, I'LL TRY TO REMEMBER TO INCLUDE THE PICS, OR JUST DELETE....) TIRED OF WAITING FOR SHAUNA>>>MAYBE AFTER FINALS....)

Virginia State Championship Horse and Pony Show, Lexington, VA, September 18 - 21.

For the fifth straight year, Shauna Prasse and "Paradocs Whatzapnin'?" captured the High Point Saddleseat Championship of Virginia! They placed first in SS Pleasure, first in SS Equitation, were Champion in the Saddleseat Equitation Classic, and Reserve Champion in the Saddleseat Pleasure Classic.

Chris Prasse and "Told Ya So" took third place honors in Intermediate Hunter at 2'6" (out of 28 horses!) and also third place in Huntseat Equitation Over Fences @ 3'.

Charlotte Hoberg and " Laughing Lay-Up" placed 6th (of 23) in Large Pony Working Hunter and 9th in Hunter Equitation on the Flat Ages 14-15

Hannah Brown and "Fade to Gray", in their first trip to States, placed 4th (of 21) in Hunter Equitation Ages 9 - 12.

We were very proud of the riders and their mounts, especially since ALL of them received Blue Ribbons for excellence in Stable Management!

ASHAV

Another visit to the Horse Center in Lexington, VA, September 24 - 28th for ASHAV!

This year we had decided to change divisions for "Paradocs Whatzapnin'?"....after his Saddleseat victory the week before, at ASHAV we exhibited "Zap" in the ASB Western and ASB Hunter divisions. He placed 2nd in the Hunter Qualifying Class, shown by Shauna, then went on to WIN the ASB Hunter Championship! In ASB Western, with Joan on board, "Zap" was 4th in the qualifying class and 8th in the ASB Western Championship, although he did receive a 2nd place vote from one of the three judges. We were very pleased and will probably continue with him in these divisions.

"Paradocs Day Ja Vu" (our Baby Judi) was Reserve Champion Grand National Yearling! She also placed 4th in the ASHAV Open and 6th in the ASHAV Amateur Futurities, with Trey leading.

"Brass Buttons" and Shauna finished off their Roadster Pony Under Saddle career with third place finishes in both the Medallion class and the Championship. They had a great show, a fitting tribute to leaving the Juvenile division and Shauna's favorite class. Next year "Buttons" will only be able to be shown "to bike." (Shauna is scheming to get a Road Horse now.....Mom is opting for a college education first....)

Trey rode "Oh Heavenly Moment" to a 5th place finish in Novice Five Gaited Pleasure....Quite a feat since "Andy" had only been racking for three weeks, after returning from the AAC Three Gaited Three Year Old Classic! We;re expecting great things from "Andy" next season in the Junior Five Gaited division.

Trey also showed "Paradocs Genie" for Margaret Jill Modlin. They placed 6th in Virginia Owned Country Three Gaited and 8th in Novice Country Three Gaited.
