Brad Ost teamed with UF A Certain Star to capture his first AQHA World Championship title in Junior Western Riding Wednesday in Oklahoma City.

With a score of 229.5 Ost and UF A Certain Star, a 2009 chestnut gelding by Certain Potential and out of Prissy Legs, made it a decisive win by outscoring his nearest opponent by 5.5 points. Judges for the class were: Steve Heckaman, Mike Carter, Sam Rose, Cynthia Rucker and Laurel Walker-Denton.

UF A Certain Star was bred by the University of Florida Foundation in Ocala and is owned by Courtney Archer of Pilot Point, Texas.

Reserve Champion in the class was My Vital Valentine, owned by Diana Davidson of Franktown, Colorado; and shown by Chad Evans.

Earlier in the afternoon the Junior Western Pleasure finals mixed things up as judges called for an extended walk right into the lope to evaluate the 15 returning competitors.

Evaluating the class were: Mike Carter, Steve Heckaman, Sam Rose, Cynthia Rucker and Bob Kail.

Rusty Green of Pilot Point, Texas, piloted Only A Breeze (Abby), a 2009 sorrel mare by Invitation Only and out of Zippin The Breeze, to a win in the class. Only A Breeze as bred by Kathryn Frederick of Ocala, Florida and is owned by Capital Quarter Horses LLC (Susan Roberts) of Whitesboro, Texas.

“Abby is a very natural mover no matter if your asking her to go slow or fast,” Green said. “She is a show mare that loves her job.”

The whole year has been loaded with success for Only A Breeze and Susan Roberts. They won the Western Pleasure at the AQHA Amateur Select World Show and the Select Western Pleasure at the Quarter Horse Congress. Next year Green and Roberts plan to get Abby qualified for the AQHA Select and Open World Shows and then she will go to the breeding farm to pull a couple of embryos.

Reserve Junior Western Pleasure World Champion was Shane Dowdy of Northlake, Texas riding Chasing A Dream for owner Candace Jussen, of Fort Worth, Texas.
