The World Conformation Horse Association recently named Randy Jacobs as the 2025 “BE LIKE BRUCE” honoree! WCHA established this award to both honor and remember Bruce Walquist, a highly respected WCHA member and Specialized Halter Judge. Everyone in the stock horse industry felt the loss of Bruce’s sudden passing in 2023 as he set the standard for professionalism and kindness toward others. The positive influence Bruce had on our horse industry regardless of discipline will never be forgotten and WCHA wanted to recognize professionals in our association that “best emulate” those qualities.
The criteria taken into consideration for this award are:
From Don Falcon, WCHA Executive Director, “Bruce would no doubt give his big smile and wholeheartedly approve of this year’s selection, Randy Jacobs, as our recipient of the Bruce Walquist “Be Like Bruce” Spirit Award. Randy has many of the same qualities as a leader and professional ethics as Bruce. We should all remember Bruce for the gentle soul that he was and try our best to Be More Like Bruce. We are honored to name Randy Jacobs as the 2025 recipient”.
