Rusty Green and Lope The Line Win Equine Sports Medicine 2-Year-Old Open Western Pleasure Stakes
Once again, the Lazy Loper 2-year-old named Lope The Line has added yet another accolade to an already impressive resume of Futurity Champion titles, NSBA World Champion titles, BCF Champion titles, and Reichert Celebration Champion titles.
Earlier in the week, the horse’s owner, Adam Kober, piloted “Ellen” to a unanimous win in the Equine Sports Medicine 2-Year-Old Non Pro Open Western Pleasure Stakes. Tonight, it was trainer Rusty Green’s turn to take a trip around the pen.
Charged with the tough task of determining the winner in tonight’s class were Jeff Mellott, Dean Bogart, Tony Burris, and Gretchen Mathes.
Coming in a close second was Erin Lieurance aboard Take Me Home Tonite for Kristin Kay Kleiman. The pair received $6,250 for their efforts. Rounding out the top three was Dave Archer and Flashy Looking Touch for Courtney Chown. They received $3,750 in the class.
