As members of Area 3 we have a lot to be thankful for. In the past 15 years we've seen interest in western riding grow and have enjoyed opportunities to attend a lot more events, some virtually on our door-step. Area 3 has a track-record of being strongly represented at the WES National Championships and we're delighted that Devon riders do us proud. So why this group?
Well it's pretty simple; we believe that it's essential for us to have access to top-class training and to be able to enjoy our sport in a friendly, supportive environment. Most importantly, we want to do more to help those who are genuinely committed to our sport to become better horsemen and women. That takes effort, and we encourage all of you out there who really want to make that commitment to join us!
Judith Hubbard is a UKCC Level 3 Coach, and also a WES Approved Instructor and Judge. In 2011 she co-founded the web-based Western Rider Development Programme to offer a comprehensive online training facility for western riders. She also became the WES County Representative for Devon. Judith is currently producing three young horses Forest Jac (foaled in 2005), Song's Bright Spark (foaled in 2006) and Skip 'n Dazzle (foaled in 2007).
Judith has competed at national level since 1995, winning numerous hi-points and championships on several horses including her own anglo-Arab mare Blue Savannah. She is perhaps best known for her partnership with the beautiful Arabian stallion African Sky, with whom she won numerous national titles.
In 2009 she and Forest Jac enjoyed a very successful WES National Championship Show where they were placed consistently and won the Open Horsemanship class. This was a remarkable achievement on such a young horse, as Forest Jac was 4 at the time and was competing in Championship and Open classes. At just 14 hands he was also the smallest horse there! Judith also achieved the WES reserve National Hi-Point in Open Horsemanship, and was runner-up to our good friend Chrissie Mayhew.
In 2010 Judith was unable to compete in the WES National Show due to an injury. Despite missing several shows as a result Judith had another successful year, as Forest Jac won the AQHA International High Point Open Division Junior Green Trail. In 2011 Judith and Forest Jac had another successful WES Nationals, where they placed in every class they entered. Even more importantly they had a great time at the show, and also at the AQHA Breed Show where Forest Jac once again made a big impression for such a little horse. He's just so cute!
