Ocala, FL – A Sudden Impulse AQHA and NSBA Futurity is underway at World Equestrian Center – Ocala with exciting competition through Saturday, April 27. Today’s featured class showcased the $25,000 NSBA 3 & Over Maiden Hunter Under Saddle and the $5,000 Limited Rider Bonus.
Thirteen horse-and-rider combinations took center stage in hopes of taking home the lion’s share of the prize money, but it was Dawn Baker and Stacey Stinson’s Ultimate Permission that prevailed.
Baker spoke highly of the 2021 stallion by The Ultimate Fancy x My Favorite Uncle, “He is very willing. He’s been great at every single thing we’ve thrown at him, and he showed so well today.”
Stacey Stinson was excited to see her horse in action, “This is my first time that I’ve really seen him. We bought him off a video and this is the first time I’ve ever seen him dressed up and at a horse show. It is so exciting that he’s my big horse’s [Without Permission] little brother,” Stinson shared. “He will go to the ‘Majors’, especially after doing so well today!”
Both Baker and Stinson are thrilled to be back at World Equestrian Center – Ocala, “It’s amazing. It’s like Disneyland for horses and people. It was a perfect evening to show,” expressed Baker.
