The 2013 Virginia Classic AQHA show was held April 10-14 in Lexington, Va., at the gorgeous Virginia Horse Center. The show boasted 6,600 total entries, although folks around the grounds could be heard talking about their disappointment with a light turnout. The weather was gorgeous, although perhaps a little windy on some days. Judges were Randy Alderson, Nancy Swarm, Andrea Simons, Tina Anderson, Laura Gilmer, Doug Huls, Louis Hufnagel, Daren Wright, Dolly Chayer, John and Betsy Tuckey, and Tanya Green.
Jay Starnes and Zip By Machine won the Hylton Maiden Three-Year Old Western Pleasure, and MWS Sevens Are Hot and Ryan Cottingham won the Harris Versatility Challenge Class. Find stories here about the winners:
