Charlie Cole finishes last World Show with a Flourish
As renowned horseman Charlie Cole of Highpoint Performance Horses enters a different phase of his life, still involved with his clients and increasing his judging commitments, but not training full time, the horse industry has been making a concerted to support him and make their appreciation of him known.
This was evident at the 2025 All American Quarter Horse Congress, and perhaps even more so at the 2025 AQHA World Championship Show, as he qualified four horses out of fifteen to ride in the L3 Senior Western Riding Finals on the evening of Monday, November 17th.
When the scores were tallied, multiple world champion and 2022 AQHA Superhorse Hez Blazin Trouble, owned by Susan Wilson, earned another Gold Globe with Charlie, ending his show on top!
We have an interview to come from Charlie on his semi-retirement, but for now, enjoy the video of his winning ride below:
