Chocolatey wins OPEN NSBA Double Your Pleasure Futurity in Canada

I am excited to tell you that Chocolatey has done the Appaloosa horse proud today, and is now a 3 Time NSBA Open 2 year old western pleasure champion. He's added a Canadian championship to his Southern Belle and Reichert wins. Winning in Canada made his trainer Pat Heeley very proud and we were happy to have been witness to it. He was the only colored horse out there vying for the 2 year old open title, purse monies, and memorial trophy. I have to say its a sight I'll not soon forget to witness that blanketed stud lead the line up 1st under both judges with the sorrels and bays behind him. No one can miss that he is all appaloosa and we heard many talk of getting back into apps again. People came right up to us and inquired on the club, how much $ Chocolateys won, what our breeding plans were, and apps in general. Many were previous appaloosa show people that left for Qtrs years ago. I told them its a great organization now, with talented stock and incentive classes, payouts, etc. I mentioned to those I spoke with to try us again, as with all the new colored class slots and nsba color incentive money, it pays to have a colored horse on your trailer. Anyway, Chocolatey caused a stir and I even heard people seem to know him and say, Oh thats Chocolatey. Needless to say, we were humbled by our own horse and his ability to show off his Appaloosa style. Im grateful to own him, and I myself am in awe when he lines them up behind him. Its like he knows he has more than a class to win, he knows he's representing his breed, and he gives it all he has.
