In the performance divisions, trainer Nikki Rae Woodworth rode Chloe Deeb's As Predicted to claim the World English Pleasure Championship. Jessica Bodnar rode LLL Tzar Alexander, to top honors as the World Hunter Pleasure Champion for Dr. Boris and Emelia Tabakoff. Merriehill Home Stretch, with trainer David Rand in the buggy, claimed the World Park Harness Championship for Dantree Farm. Rick Gervasio rode his HollyBrook Touche to the World Western Pleasure Championship. Jim Taylor drove CBMF Victory Pass to the World Pleasure Driving Championship for Elizabeth and Tom Burick. Jim's wife, Jenny, then rode PLS High Pine Picasso to win the very competitive World Park Saddle Championship for Donna Zimmerman. Peggy Alderman returned to the ring to win the World Roadster to Bike Championship with Flairetation for the second year in a row. Alderman set a record with this win, as she has driven to the world championship eight times.
The Grand National joined forces with four generous sponsors: Markel Insurance, Horse Show Wire, RaDon, and Premier Horse Video, to bring the show to online viewers for free. The video feed, which also was simulcast on USEF Network, had an incredible viewership response. These great sponsors have also made available for a limited time replays of this years show. Links can be found soon at www.morganhorsevideos.com.
Plans already are underway for next year's show, which will take place October 12-19 in, of course, Oklahoma City. Sherry Cole of Sheridan, Indiana, will be the show chairman.
