LEXINGTON, Ky. - A crowd of 440 on Friday night opened the Annual Kentucky Walking Horse Association (KWHA) High Point Awards Banquet and Annual Meeting. In addition to the festivities, numerous meetings, including election of officers, were packed into the fun filled weekend of Jan. 14 -15, at the Embassy Suites in Lexington, Ky.
A special meeting began the weekend of business and fun on Friday evening. The KWHA Ladies Auxiliary held a special meeting to vote on three proposed changes. All three were voted unanimously. They increased the annual dues and revised the bylaws to not include special dollar amount of dues; then they revised the time period for earning participation points from one Celebration to the next to meet the point requirements for showing at the Celebration.
The Friday night buffet and awards presentations of ribbons, silver and crystal followed,with more meetings held on Saturday. The fun concluded at the gambling tables of the casino, a 50/50 drawing and dancing to live music Saturday evening into Sunday morning.
Special awards were presented in various categories. Mandie Napier won the Juvenile Sportsmanship award while sister Alie Napier was presented with the Amateur Sportsmanship title. Mike Alexander was named the Professional Sportsman of the Year. Owner of the Year went to Linda Patton of Sweet Revenge Stables. Trainer of the Year by Votes went to Mike Oney. Trainer of the Year by Points was awarded to McQuerry Stables with more than 5500 accumulated points.
The Juvenile Horse of the Year was Laurie Herchenroeder’s Call Me Hytone, while Terry Logan Lunsford claimed the Amateur Horse of the Year with Royalty’s Painkiller. The Plantation Horse of the Year went to Pattern’s Gen and Renee Allen Dauer. Oliver Stables and Clutches Holiday captured the Show Pleasure Horse of the Year award. Mr.Powerstroke won the Racking Horse of the Year award for owner Julie George. Sandra Shannon and Generator’s Scooby Doo proudly accepted the Halter Horse of the Year, and Linda Patton’s Johnny Orlando won the Open Horse Of the Year.
Three presentations were made to the Central Kentucky Riding for Hope program. Wayne Altom, treasurer, presented a check for $3,000, followed by a presentation by the KWHA Auxiliary President Patti Reynolds for $1,000 to the general fund. The KWHALA has been the longest continued supporters of this program. Sue Alexander, Spring Jubilee horse show manager, made an additional $1,000 contribution to the building fund. Since the organization is bursting at the seams, and a new facility is in the future plans. Pat Kline accepted the contributions and discussed the new name change since this program has created “hope” for so many.
The Don and Louise Cooper award was then presented by Pat Kline. This award is presented to someone each year who contributes and participates in the KWHA in a non riding capacity. This year’s award went to a woman who selflessly gave to the organization and spent many hours assisting with the KWHA and its membership, Janet May.
In a tradition that started in 2001, three people were inducted into the KWHA Hall of Fame, which honors members who had contributed to the success of the KWHA. The Hall of Fame Committee consisted of Chairman Denzil Allen, Bob McQuerry, Duane Rector and Kenny Smith. The new honorees were Snuffy Smith, Walt Bruner and John Alexander. Snuffy Smith’s daughter accepted his award while Sue Alexander accepted Alexander’s awards.
The pictures and the speeches are featured in another edit in this paper.
Dan Reynolds announced the winners of the Kentucky Stallion Owners’ Association (KSOA) High Point Awards. Each winner received a saddle with their award. Mind Games was once again awarded the KSOA Stallion of the Year, owned by Todd & Ecklar, and reserve was awarded to Eb’s Black Charger, owned by Triple T Investments.
Following the board of directors meeting, the KSOA meeting, the ladies auxiliary meeting and the juvenile auxiliary held Saturday morning, elections were held in the general membership meeting. Additional chairs had to be brought in to both the ladies’ auxiliary meeting and the General Membership Meeting due to the large numbers in attendance.
