Viento de Washoe (DG Viento x Egyptian Sugar by AN Monsanto) has won the 2006 US National Championship in Sport Horse Hunter Hack! Owned/trained by Kim Schnackenberg, ridden/ trained by Morgan Carr, this 50% Spanish-related stallion, was purchased as a 2month old colt in 1993 by Kim Schnackenberg. Kim started him in dressage and took him to third level. Viento de Washoe (aka "Beau") was then switched to the discipline of Western riding. He has experience in a variety of disciplines, |
In January of 2005, Kim discovered that Beau could jump. She felt she was too tall to show him, so engaged a smaller rider who was also a junior. After qualifying at an A show, he went to Regionals and won two Championships, in Working Hunter ATR and Hunter Hack.
Beau's junior rider went off to school in 2006, Kim engaged the services of Morgan Carr, the head trainer at Donida Farms, Auburn, WA and the rest is history! Watch for more great things from this versatile stallion in the future.
And now more good news .

age, CA Hermoso (CA Acierto x Challendon Flame by Jdar Bari Brita)
came out of retirement to win the Western Pleasure Championship ATR at
Scottsdale in 2006. He is shown here after the win with Jill, his
rider, and his breeders/owners Priscilla Richardson and Bill Normington.
His trainer, Bill Porcher, had never seen him shown before because he has been the only one who has ever ridden him. Even at this age he out-moved all the horses in the class and gave a stellar performance. Jill had only ridden him a few times previous to his qualifying class (which he also won).
