Melissa Haberkorn found herself in the winner’s circle once again at the 2014 APHA World Championship Show; this time, she was named the World Champion in Masters Amateur Trail. Just the other day, we had the chance to speak with Haberkorn about her 15-year-old Paint Horse gelding named”Socks” when she was crowned the World Champion in Masters Amateur Showmanship. Click here to read that story.
In their Showmanship class, the dynamic duo received four firsts and one second. Today in Trail, she did one better, receiving five firsts and becoming the unanimous choice of the judges.
Earlier in the show, Haberkorn and Socks received a Reserve World Champion title in Masters Amateur Hunt Seat Equitation. The pair also placed seventh in Masters Amateur Senior Hunter Under Saddle.
Since we already had the opportunity to chat with Haberkorn, we decided to do something a little different for this particular article. Scroll below to view photos of each lovely lady by their name in the results. Congratulations to all of the Masters Amateur competitors!
