EC Photo of the Day – The Moment of a Lifetime

This poignant pause at South Point Arena with Linda Clavel and TJ On The Rocks (by The Rock and out of Whoopi Im Invited) signifies a moment of a lifetime for the 71-year-old exhibitor, who recently showed at the 2025 AQHA West L1 Championships.  “Never dreamed I would be there,” says Linda.

The duo earned Top 10 placings in L1 Amateur Performance Halter Geldings, Rookie Amateur Hunter Under Saddle, and Rookie Amateur Showmanship at the show.  “After I competed in showmanship and my barn family headed back to the stall, I asked if they would go ahead because I wanted to turn around and look back at the arena where we had just competed. The picture is of my horse and me looking back at the empty arena and there on the jumbotron is the same exact picture. It is a moment I will never forget.”

Thank you to Linda for sharing this incredible photo and moment with our readers! If you have a great photo of the day, please email it to: Delores.Kuhlwein@EquineChronicle.com.
