Around the Rings – 2023 APHA World Show, June 30th
One of the biggest pieces of news from the 2023 APHA World Championship became Vanessa Froman’s domination of the Amateur Masters Showmanship 45 & Over. Our May June cover girl even brought people to their feet who were watching the live stream at home – her kindness and spirit has had that big of an impact in the industry.
See what she had to say about this very first World Championship title in our EC TV video:

A bit earlier in the day, Catherine Goffard stunned viewers with her beautiful ride on her new horse, Obsessed To Be Best, in the Non Pro 4 YO and Older Western Pleasure Sweepstakes. Catherine lost Gillespie Show Horses’ barn favorite in January 2023, yet they all feel Gilly’s presence with them as she competes now with “Calvin.”

Over in the Watt Arena, Jill Cossu was getting crowned World Champion in Amateur Walk Trot Showmanship, and she reveals that she is at the APHA World Show stalled by herself and is being supported by her husband.
Jill bought Strait Cash at 5 months old and raised and trained her as a DIY Amateur. “No one else has ever touched her, she explains. “I do some clinics and watch a lot online, watch all the livestream shows and pick up tips from the best of the best.”
She says her only claim to fame before this was as the winner at the Wisconsin State 4H Championship in 1979, and Tim Gillespie was Reserve. “Until I bought her in 2010 I didn’t know he made his life later as a trainer,” says Jill.
Originally, Strait Cash was kind of a backyard pet, purchased because she was related to Jill’s old show mare, Skip A Bee, by Hank A Chief.
“We had her as kind of a backyard pet, and then we decided to start showing her at open shows, then Paint shows,” explains Jill. “I do it all on my own, and it’s a lot – but it’s worth it to realize this kind of dream.”
