Teams in the Back to Berrien $10K Added NSBA The DAC Western Pleasure
The flagship class of Back to Berrien returns again this year – a $10,000 Added NSBA “THE DAC” $2,500 Novice Horse Open Western Pleasure, offered for 3 YO and over novice horses. “It will have $10,000 added money and is for horses who have not earned over $2500 as of June 1, 2025,” says Gil Galyean. The DAC sponsored feature class also offers a limited rider division with added money.
Last year in the much-anticipated class, riders presented their horses down the center at a lope and a jog before they took their places on the rail.
The 2025 Back to Berrien is judged by Amanda Gately, Valerie Kearns, Judd Paul, Nancy Sue Ryan, and Randy Wilson, with judge Dan Trein judging the NSBA & AQHA Special Event on Wednesday. The show is managed by Jon and Kathy Barry, Gil and Becky Galyean, and Wallace and Sissy Anderson.
