Dixie Cup 2005
Monday, May 23, 2005
CONYERS, Ga., - The Dixie Cup is billed as "The Champagne Show of the South". The hard work of its many volunteers have ensured that Dixie Cup exhibitors enjoy a full complement classes along with plenty of fun. This marked the fifth year since Saddlebred, Hackney Pony, Roadster and open classes were added to the 27 year old Dixie Cup Morgan Classic to form The Dixie Cup. In these five years, the show has seen its list of exhibitors grow by leaps and bounds.
The latest edition of The Dixie Cup took place on May 5 - 7 at the Georgia International Horse Park with exhibitors from throughout the southeastern states of Georgia, Florida, South Carolina, Alabama and Tennessee being joined once again by faithful Dixie Cup exhibitors from Broadmoor in Pennsylvania. In all over 300 horses competed in well-filled and competitive classes at this superb facility while their owners and trainers enjoyed the fine Southern hospitality offered at the Dixie Cup. The exhibitors from all breeds enjoyed the camaraderie and made many new friends and renewed acquaintances as the show went on.
Exhibitors and spectators were treated to nice Spring weather with a cool and cloudy start followed by a warm and sunny weekend in Conyers. The show featured two action-packed sessions a day plus a third session for academy on Saturday morning. In spite of some long days of showing, everyone still found time for visiting, working horses, golfing, shopping, and dining at many of the local restaurants or those in nearby Atlanta.
In addition to some world class competition in the show ring, Dixie Cup also featured many other highlights. Friday night featured the always lively Exhibitor's Party at the Cherokee Run Golf Clubhouse with over 300 in attendance sponsored by John and Amy Scott and Tall Tails Farm. The Dixie Cup Hall of Fame welcomed a most deserving new member as Barbara Goda added her name to the list of inductees. While it may surprise many that this could be accomplished without her knowledge, Barb was almost speechless when was asked to come forward to accept her plaque. James Hale Stables was a popular place prior to the Saturday evening session as everyone gathered to watch the Kentucky Derby thanks to a satellite dish. There were also numerous stable parties held during the show including several birthday celebrations, Cinco De Mayo parties, and pre-Mother's Day celebrations.
Dixie Cup has been conscious in its effort to make a difference. Its donations to and efforts on behalf of the Georgia Department of Agriculture, Georgia Horse Council, and Georgia International Horse Park have certainly made a difference over the years. This year's show was held for the benefit of the Georgia Horse Council and Special Olympics Rockdale with many of their members in attendance during the show.
The triumvirate consisting of show co-chairs Barb Goda and Tony Lee along with show manager P.D. May were justifiably proud of this year's show and the strong support they have received from the ever-expanding list of Dixie Cup exhibitors. Rick Adams, Evelyn Anderson, Jim Beckemeyer, Jill Bertolani, Amanda Dellinger, Hariette Dye, Sarah Gallant, Ann Giorgianni, John Goda, Jr., John Goda III, Nikki Joseph, Kevin Ingram, Vickie Maness, Shirley May, Angela Sibley, Taylor Vickers, Tricia Waclena, Bob and Paula Yeska, and Diane Wright round out the great group of committee members who volunteer their time to help make Dixie Cup the successful and enjoyable show that it is.
The list of Dixie Cup show officials also included; Dodd Vickers (announcer), Casey McBride (photographer), Bob Yeska (ringmaster), Paula Yeska and Patty McDonald (secretaries), Pat Webb (USEF steward), Stanley Orr (farrier) and Dr. Ray Wright, DVM (veterinarian). The judging duties were handled by two ladies who grew up showing at the old Dixie Cup Morgan Classic. Maria Gilman and Fay Lowry officiated in all of the over 150 classes held in the Charles Walker Arena. In addition to a full lineup of performance classes, over 100 academy rides filled the Saturday morning session in the arena while dressage rides took place in one of the outdoor arenas.

In the combined Amateur/Junior Exhibitor Three-Gaited Stake Prince Of Soul and Rosemary Gonzalez earned the top honor moving up a notch from their qualifier. Having to show during the heat of the afternoon did not seem to bother this team as Rosemary asked "Luther" for each pass they made and he reacted by marching down the rail pass after pass.

She teamed up with this Supreme Heir bred five-year-old in their first appearance together to win the stake after finishing reserve in the junior/novice qualifier. The win was exciting for the Polley family but what made it even sweeter is that this is the first foal they raised and have seen progress under the direction of Jimmy Womble. Reserve in the stake and winner of the open qualifier was Serenade in Silver with Steve Joyce directing for Cindy and Lee Wagoner. Winning the Junior/Novice Fine Harness was the Happy Valley entry Photo Prince putting on a bold showing with Eddie Womble.

Amanda Dellinger continued her pleasure streak as she and My Grande added two more victories to their list this year sweeping the adult division. Local favorites Callaway's Hard Copy and Pat Borders earned the reserve in the stake while newcomer, Carole Downs, and Play Date took home the red ribbon in the qualifier.
In a competitive Junior Exhibitor Show Pleasure Stake the winning number belonged to Bagger Vance and Britt Gentry.

Winning the Shatner Working class was local favorite Champ At The Bit and Key Tucker. In the Hunter division the top spots swapped as Manhattan's Review and Rebecca Babcock won the stake and I'm On Island Time and Mary Ann Jones won the qualifier.
