Shaw Johnson-Price and Custom Made Crowned Amateur-Owner Hunter Grand Champion
Shaw Johnson-Price shed tears of joy as she walked into the ring to accept the championship ribbon for the Amateur-Owner Over 35 Hunter division. A short while later, Price and Custom Made once again made their way center-ring to accept the prestigious Grand Champion Amateur-Owner Hunter Ruxton and Scot To Do Challenge Trophy at the 2016 CP National Horse Show.
“This is the most amazing thing to happen,” Price said. “It is really unexpected, and I’m thrilled. I am so happy to end on a good note after the last class. We’ve had an incredible circuit. It feels like a million dollars to win grand. I am beside myself happy to have this horse and to be a part of our farm.”
