The Gold Team Attacks Region 15 Championship Arabian Horse Show

Jul 18, 2020

A group of three women formed a team using three high percentage Crabbet Arabians. The goal of this team was to achieve as much success as possible using three descendants of BL Majestic Gold+/ (100% Crabbet) and TrueBlue Goldmine+++// (84.68% Crabbet), a BL Majestic Gold son.

The Gold Team recently competed at the Region 15 Arabian & Half-Arabian Championships July 1-5, 2020 at the Virginia Horse Center in Lexington, VA.

The conspirators are Lindsay Shaw (Amateur and Junior Rider and Handler), Abby Tymchak (Owner and Amateur Rider and Handler) and Chrystal Wood (Owner and professional Rider and Trainer. Their three worthy steeds are Worth My Wait Ingold+++// (TrueBlue Goldmine+++// x Lorraine), owned by Chrystal Wood, TB Bin Bintu Britni+ (TrueBlue Goldmine+++// x TrueBlue Rockette), owned by True Blue Arabians and Gold Reflection++// (BL Majestic Gold+/ x Kailua Bay), owned by Abby Tymchak. These three devious conspirators even took along a crack barn and groom team of Will Noonan and Sharon Noonan (aka: Barn Diva) to help facilitate a coordinated attack.

I would say by any standard the Gold Team was very successful and achieved or even surpassed their goals and expectations.  Like any group of athletes, they are not satisfied and will keep working hard to achieve even loftier goals and achievements.

In my opinion, this team proved once again that quality bred Crabbet Arabians handled and ridden by the right people can achieve success at the highest levels of competition.

Congratulations Gold Team. You may take the week off, although I know you won’t.
