This is both Melody and Alyssa’s first time competing at the APHA World Show, and they admit that it’s a bit nerve-wracking, but today’s result couldn’t have been better. Alyssa’s main goal for this class was to remember her pattern. “I think my extended trot, walk, and 360 after the judge was really good,” she says. “Showmanship is my favorite class, because she’s really good at this class, and she’s a very good listener.”

June 27, 2021 Comments Off on 14-Year-Old Ady Kallay Named 18 and Under Equitation APHA World Champion
Ady resides in Canada and her trainers, Arturo Maestas and Jesse Jones, live in Texas. Prior to the pandemic, Ady would fly down once a month to train. That all stopped in 2020, when the U.S./Canadian border effectively shut down. Although restrictions have loosened in the U.S. in recent months, the situation is still fairly closed in Canada, which made the trip to Fort Worth a bit tricky. Ady and her mother flew into the States two weeks ago and underwent COVID testing. Once they return to Canada, they will have more tests and spend a two-week quarantine in a hotel. But tonight’s big win with a huge cheering section of supporters behind her made all of the logistical challenges well worth it.
