Judges for the International Friesian Show Horse Association (IFSHA) World and Grand National Championship Horse Show were Lois Heyerdahl for dressage and sport horse in-hand divisions while the carriage pleasure driving horses were pinned by Audrey Bostwick. Three USEF Friesian judges—Gary Mullen, Todd Trushel and Dr. Walter de la Brosse—officiated the balance of halter and performance classes with many a unanimous decision between them. Patty Littmann was the United States Dressage Federation (USDF) Technical Delegate for the show, and Shirley Nowak the USEF Steward.

Celebrating 15th Year at Georgia International Horse Park with the Atlanta Fall Classic Opener The opening week of the Fall Classics was a cornucopia of excitement, beginning with the Welcome Jumper Classic and a star-studded field of 34 competitors taking on course designer Allen Rheinheimer’s sprawling 12-obstacle, 15-effort first-round layout. Given the tight time limit of 76 seconds to navigate twisty turns, a triple, and double combination it’s not too surprising that a mere 11 made it to the jump-off round. Among them Olympic veteran Norman Dello Joio with two mounts, the Wembley Farms, Inc., entry Notre Star in a clear first-round time of 72.671 and wife Jeanie’s KLM Jimmy finishing quick and clear in 72.393.
