“It was during this partnership with Vicky Holt that would introduce Julia to Zippo LTD, or “LT,” to those who know and love him. When the Taylors were offered the chance to buy Zippo LTD, they were hesitant at first. LT was 14 years old and Julia only had a few years left in youth. They worried about his health and how he would hold up. Two World Championships, in Showmanship and Western Riding, and two Youth Reserve World Championships in three years seemed to quell the concerns about LT’s health or abilities. Julia and LT also won the Youth 14-18 Trail at the 2003 Congress.”

He is a tireless supporter, your toughest critic, a constant source of applause, your truck and trailer driver. He is your show photographer, a faithful groom, your horse wrangler. He provides a shoulder to cry on and a high five when you’re in the winner’s circle. He is a special breed, a horse show dad.

Most every equestrian can agree – they wouldn’t be where they are today without the encouragement from key people in their lives. This Father’s Day, it’s time to #ShowDadLove, honoring the men who support equestrians through all of their accomplishments.
