Tim and Katy Jo Zuidema, of Micanopy, Florida, know how to keep peace in a marriage. At the Appaloosa World Championship Show going on through Sunday in Fort Worth, Texas, the couple finished as Champion and Reserve Champion in the InStride Edition 2-Year-Old Western Pleasure Class, presented by the Appaloosa Pleasure Horse Association.

Tim Zuidema rode Good Timin Charlie, a gelding sired by Colored By Charlie and out of Zip My Version to the World Championship title while Katy Jo Zuidema piloted Lookslikeallthecandy, sired by Chocolatey and out of Got Good Looks, to the Reserve honor.

Greg Wheat, Dan Williams, Linda Long and Rusty Green officiated over the class of 15 entries. Tim Zuidema and Good Timin Charlie, owned by David and Nettie Olsen, Waxhaw, North Carolina, were first on all four cards.

Tim Zuidema and Good Timin Charlie (Emmett) also won the World Show Sale 2-Year-Old Western Pleasure Incentive Class on Thursday.

“Emmett has been a strong colt from the day he was born with so much natural ability,” Tim Zuidema says. “We knew Emmett was going to make a strong 2 year old but he’s going to make an even better 3-year-old, Zuidema said. “Watch for Emmett with owner Nettie Olsen in the Masters Western Pleasure and with Jessica Olsen in the 3-year-old Non-Pro Western Pleasure next year.”

Lookslikeallthecandy (Bruno) is owned by Tim and Katy Jo Zuidema.

“We haven’t owned Bruno that long,” says Katy Jo Zuidema. We just bought him at the Reichert Celebration in September. He gave me a great ride and to be first and second as husband and wife was definitely the icing on the cake for tonight.”

Katy Jo also earned a bonus for being the highest placing female rider in the class.
