Congratulations go to Elise Geske and Ravi Das (#262) |
|
 |
Elise Geske beams as Ravi Das ("barn name" = Socks) is announced as the winner of the Haggin Cup best condition award. |
 |
Walking down into the stadium to receive the cup. (Socks wasn't keen on the very large, very shiny object) |
 |
Jazon Wonders (Socks' owner) congratulates
Elise.
A special note is that Elise weighed in at 184 lbs with tack, so she's no featherweight. |
 |
Jazon, Elise, and Socks.
As we were walking around the barn area before the awards ceremony, we asked some of the people we met who they thought was likely to win BC. The general consensus was that Socks looked *great*. |
 |
Jazon receives congratulations.
Socks, Elise, Gary Hall (WST BOD), and Jazon. |
 |
A quick quiet moment to reflect.... |
 |
Socks is listed as being 14:2 and he is a small horse. But he's got great sturdy legs and a good build. |
 |
Elise was obviously over the moon as she gives Jazon a hug. |
| Note: Apparently 10th place rider, Richard Smith's horse Scotch Pine Wizor was sadly pulled right at the finish. As a result Ravi Das who came in 11th was put forward for BC judging. | |
