Werner Wins Breeders' Award
|
Ellen Scripps Davis Memorial Breeders' Award. The award was established in
1998 to recognize an individual who consistently breeds outstanding show
horses and honors the role unique breeding enterprises have in the
development and improvement of show horses.
Werner and her husband Roy own and operate Redwing Farm and have been the
breeder's of several world champion American Saddlebreds. They stand
Radiant Sultan, a top ten rated American Saddlebred stallion and sire of
numerous world and reserve world champions, who will be joined in 2003 by
Designed, a world champion bred by Redwing Farm and shown by Werner to his
win at the 2002 World's Championship Horse Show. The farm has produced a
remarkable number of show ring winners from a small broodmare band. Werner
is currently a member of the USA Equestrian Executive Committee, Board of
Directors, Saddlebred Committee, Drugs and Medications Committee, Hearing
Committee, Planning Committee and many more. Not only has Werner made
contributions to USA Equestrian, but has extended her reach by taking part
in the Saddlebred industry through her servitude as the President of the
American Saddlebred Horse Association (ASHA) from 1984 - 1992. Werner is
also an active member of the United Professional Horsemen's Association and
the American Horse Council. In 1998 her name was engraved on the Walter B.
Devereux Trophy as the recipient of the AHSA Sportsmanship Award, awarded to
those who have "exemplified the ideal of good sportsmanship through
commitment, dedication, and service to USA Equestrian throughout his or her
career."
Werner said, "I am very honored to win this award; especially since it is
named after Mrs. Davis, who had such an impact on the American Saddlebred
breeding world."
Werner will be presented the award at the Pegasus Dinner held during the USA
Equestrian Annual Meeting, January 15-19, at the Marriott Griffin Gate in
Lexington, KY.
