PVRA Members Compete at Arabian Nationals
PVRA members Brittany Banning and Jenn Halverson
competed at the 12th annual Youth National Arabian and
Half-Arabian Championship Horse Show held from July
25–31, 2004 in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The Youth Na-
tionals show offers 114 classes with more than 1,000 Arabi-
an, Half-Arabian and Anglo-Arabian horses competing with
individual class entries totaling over 2,800. Youths prepare
for this show all year long and must qualify to compete by
earning championships and first place ribbons at designated
Arabian “A” shows.
Jenn Halverson’s equine partner was her Half-Arabian
horse, “The Party’s Over”. They competed in Halter Show-
manship and Country English Pleasure. Brittany Banning
won three national Top Ten Titles in: English Show Hack,
13 & Under, Ladies English Side Saddle, 17 & Under, and
Mounted Native Arabian Costume, 13 & Under. Brittany’s
equine partners for these accomplishments were “K Akasha Brittany & Darcy with award plaques
Jabask,” and “Crapshoot,” respectively.
This dream would not have come true for Brittany and
Jenn without the guidance and instruction of trainer Darcy
Edwards. Over the past year, Darcy has introduced many
youths from the Poway area to the competition of Arabian
“A” level and Regional level Breed Shows. In one year Dar-
cy brought Brittany and Jenn to the National level! Thanks
Darcy for a brilliant job well done. Congratulations, Jenn,
Brittany, Darcy, “Party”, “Akasha”, “Shooter”, and “Gus”,
we are so proud of you all!

The horse will likely remain in the hospital 5-6 days and
will require 60 to 90 days of stall rest with hand walking
only before going slowly back to work. Frequent complica-
tions include adhesions, hernias, or kinks that may require a
second surgery to resolve.
