Rachel LeDuke : 2010 ALAQHA President
I started
riding at the age of seven and got my first American Quarter Horse at
the age of thirteen, a three year old dun mare by Vista Bar, named Vista
Cruiser. I showed her in the 4H and open shows and eventually raised a
few babies. I took a break from horses during college and graduate
school but once established in my career, I bought an Appaloosa halter
mare in 1991. I enjoyed showing at the Appaloosa shows, showing first
in halter and added the riding classes after I sold the halter mare. I
showed in showmanship, hunter, pleasure, equitation, horsemanship and
trail at the appaloosa shows. I got started in the Quarter Horse shows
two years ago with the help of Steve Cardwell and have enjoyed every
minute of owning “Gizmo” and showing him in pleasure at the AQHA shows.
This year we hope to add showmanship and horsemanship to our
repertoire. I have made so many new friends showing AQHA and Alabama
amateurs are the best!!! I am honored to join the Amateur Board of
Directors this year an look forward to a fun and productive year.

Amber McKenzie: 2010 ALAQHA Vice President
I have
been in the horse world for a long time. As a kid, I tried a number of
different events from barrel racing, to cutting, to breakaway roping,
and finally to my true passion of western pleasure. I bought Ladmore, my
first registered quarter horse, at around 16. Ladmore was an All Around
Gelding that taught me alot about horsemanship! I showed in showmanship,
hunter hunter saddle, hunt seat equitation, western pleasure, western
horsemanship, trail, and western riding. I had to sell Ladmore to go to
college and was out of horse showing for about three years. This past
year, with the help of Kyle Grant, I was able to lease Hot Lopin Radical
to show in the Novice division. I had a wonderful first year back in the
show ring, and it feels GREAT to be showing again! I look forward to the
challenges and experiences this upcoming year will bring. I am honored
to serve as the Amateur Vice President this year and hope to see you all
at the show pen! |

"After owning horses for
most of my adult life, we purchased the AQHA stallion Gold Futures by
Goldseeker Bars and concentrated on breeding and promoting his get in
the Southeast. We purchased Sonny Dee Bar mares to further our
breeding program in Western Pleasure. After we sold Gold Futures
we bred our mares to AQHA Champions and raised many Champions and
Futurity winners. My family and I own and operate Whippoorwill
Hill Quarter Horses in Deatsville, AL and raise Western Pleasure and
Halter prospects. We successfully competed with Mr Be My
Daddy in 22004/2005 in AQHA and PHBA to three World Champion
halter titles I am honored and look
forward to serving on the ALAQHA Board." |
