Ima Bustn Loose (Scudbuster x Ima Tiki Ku) was Top 5 Purebred Sport Horse Mare at this year's East Coast Championships.
The show, held annually in Lexington, Va., is a regional level competition that includes all the top Arabians and Half-Arabians east of the Mississippi. Horses and riders must qualify for East Coast by earning points at Arabian Horse Association breed shows held throughout the preceding months on the east coast.
"Fancy" placed third overall out of 10 mares, narrowly missing the championship title. With owner/trainer Trisha Dingle, she also competed in the Eastern Arabian Horse Show held prior to the championships where she placed third in first level test 4 dressage and won the second level dressage class.
This talented 7-year-old, 16-hand purebred sabino Arabian mare was bred by Valour Arabians, and was originally sent to Trisha to be trained and sold. Recognizing her immense potential, Trisha partnered with Coker College biology professor Dr. Borgo in purchasing Fancy in 2009. Both riders train regularly with top dressage trainer Jill Allard of Evergreen Farm (www.evergreendressage.com), and farrier Mike Stine of Equine Dynamics (www.equinedynamics.com) is sponsoring Fancy for the 2010 show season.
Owners Jennifer Borgo and Dingle would like to extend a special thank you to Howell and Margo Wallace of Valour Arabians for allowing them to have this extraordinary mare and to Mike, Jill and equine veterinarian and chiropractor Dr. Nicole Cunningham for their help in preparing Fancy for the championships and shows throughout the year.
Dingle, the head trainer of Whitehaven Plantation, an all-breed boarding and training facility in Bishopville, specializes in Arab/Half-Arab sport horses.
