Will Harris and Chelsey Stone are the 2005 World's Championship Horse Show ASHA Junior Judging winners.
Harris of Arrington, Tennessee, won the 14 to 17-year-olds division. Stone of Campbellsville, Kentucky, won the 13 and under division.
(Editor’s note: Not only do these two young folks have a good eye for a horse from center ring, but they have proven themselves in the saddle as well. Coincidentally, both riders are showing in the five-gaited division at Louisville. Will Harris won the blue in the Jr. Exhibitor Five-Gaited Riders 16-17 with She’s Bedazzled AWF. Chelsey Stone ribboned in Jr. Exhibitor Five-Gaited 13 & Under Sec. A with Faye Dunaway WRF.
The ASHA Junior Judging program was developed to educate youth by expanding their understanding of class and show procedures, conduct, specifications and priorities for judging the American Saddlebred horse.
