the toughest novice classes I’ve ever competed in. The youth classes were extremely competitive, but it was a great opportunity to compete against some of the best youth in the nation.” Elizabeth Niewonja was Reserve


Champion in the NoviceYouth with Chex Is The Choice. Third place went to Shadows Perfection and Katelyn Pryor, fourth was Acoosamatic and Jaclyn Landers, and fifth was Flirtin With Reality and Kaitlin Nicholson. Like Carolyn Day, the Reserve


Champion High Point Novice Amateur, sponsored by Cahill Quarter Horses, was showing a new horse at her first Sun


Circuit. Ashley Bland (High Point Performance Horses, trainer) just purchased Rip City Zip in December. “I went just to get my feet wet, since it was a show with a lot of opportunities to get experi- ence. I was very surprised that I was even in the running for the all around prize. This was really my first experience in the all around at this level, so getting my name called was exciting in


the first place! The team at High Point is on top of everything and everyone went the extra mile to ensure that I was prepared for every event. I won the Circuit in the Western Riding, which was a total shock, because I have never shown in that event before. The show managers did a wonderful job keeping everything running smooth- ly, but that is pretty much to be expected of Mark Harrell Horse


Shows. They always do such a nice job of put- ting on a show. The entire show was really just a dream come true, I couldn’t have asked for more.” Sissie Shank was


Champion Novice Amateur High Point with Fashionably Zipped. Third place went to Zippos Gold N Sonnet and Marlo Sandoval, fourth was Flash Me Too and Michelle Hustad, and fifth was Traveling Abroad and Stephanie Kofu.


High Point Awards “The level of competition was


great,” Sheridan said. “That’s as good as it gets—like being at theWorld show.We had top competition, and the schedule was good. It was a good horse show.” Mark earned several ribbons for his clients in Western Riding, Trail, and Western Pleasure. Something Sun Circuit did to foster


that high level of competition was to offer free clinics on a variety of topics from starting horses to dressage to pleas- ure and cow work. “I was able to attend the Tim Kimura Clinic that was put on during the Sun Circuit and that really helped,” reported Ashley Bland. “He gave us tips on remembering the patterns, so I did a little extra homework and real- ly studied my patterns. I went in more mentally prepared after that, so I did my job better and really had a better plan going into the class for each obstacle.” In addition to providing a great show


for exhibitors, Sun Circuit gives back to the community as well. “In 2011, we teamed up with Rein In Cancer to raise funds for Cancer Awareness,” Huls con- tinued. “This is a great cause and some- thing we plan to build on in the future.” With great shopping, World-class


competition and daily special events, it’s no surprise Arizona Sun Circuit is one of the largest Quarter Horse shows in the country.
