The 2nd Annual Arabian Gelding Spectacular was held during the Carousel Charity Horse Show in Scottsdale, Arizona. The two-year-old gelding AOTH were given a prime slot to showcase the breed in front of a well-rounded audience. The Carousel Show has classes for Saddlebreds, Morgans, Arabians and many others. It’s a great opportunity to showcase our breed among other breeds.
MB Sentinel (Marajj x *Sonataa CAHR), owned and shown by Glenn Shearer, was Gold Champion and awarded $5,000. Silver Champion Bodacious PA (Cadance PA x Melania) was awarded $2,500, shown by Tristen Wikel. Believer PA (Masquerade PA x Fadila PCF), shown by Dean Wikel, was Bronze Champion and awarded $1,500. The remaining top six took home $500: Maverick GN (Marwan Al Magnifficoo x Bellaria CS), shown by Rodolfo Guzzo, Elix Sir (*Sir Charmed FF x Ames Jasmine), shown by Sandy Vaseleou, and Aaryx PMA (A Jericho x Jogees Aphrodite), shown by Sarah Esqueda.
We would like to thank our three wonderful judges, Greg Knowles, Leslie Connor, and Andrew Sellman.
