This gelding like all of our horses, is double registered, AMHA & AMHR. Artie LOVES to show!
His 2007 AMHR Reserve National Championship in his driving class was after only 4 shows - his first year of driving!
Artie was AMHA National Reserve Champion Weanling Stallion, Yearling Stallion and National Reserve Champion Jr. Gelding. He commands attention everywhere he went winning multiple grand and reserve championships around the country in Open, Amateur and Youth , as well top 5's in Liberty and Hunter classes in both registries. In 2006 he was nothing less than top 10 in every National & World competition he entered. We are so happy to have Artie in our barn and would like to thank Mary Margaret & Steve Simmons for their generosity and for entrusting us with Artie. He is both Honor Roll and All Star and AMHR Hall of Fame.
Artie is now driving and in his first year he has already won the 2007 AMHR National Reserve Champion Country Pleasure Driving in his height class. Thanks to Showtime Training , Robbie and Marcia Barth.
