NEWBERRY, S.C. – The Newberry Ag Expo Horse Show was held Saturday, Sept. 26, 2009. Terry Givens of Strawberry Plains, Tenn., judged the show. Despite the torrential rains that plagued the area days beforehand, the show management had two bulldozers working hard to get the ring in condition for the show.

Sam Martin and Ritz On The Corner didn’t let the muddy conditions stop them from claiming their fourth Open Walking Championship title. Pusher’s Big Bucks and David Boyce were reserve in this strong class.
