Casi has been concentrating on raising her six year-old twins and 16 year-old son and has been showing a little less this year, as everyone knows family must come first! The big guy on the road this year has been DANCE ON THESE IRONS, a four year-old, 17.3 hand brown gelding by These Irons Are Hot. By Casi's choice, "Mike" remained in the same training program he has been in all his life, with Trish Yamber in Roberta, GA. In the few southern shows Casi flew to and showed Mike in, the pair qualified for the 2015 AQHA Open World, and will be presented in the Level 2 Jr. Hunter Under Saddle on November 10th.
Congress is a wrap, and the Junior and Maturity rides went very well. Bring on Oklahoma City!

Welcome back to the show pen, One Fine Detail, and Tara Lawless. Glad you're doing better, "House"! The pair made the finals out of 30 elite Ohio horses. They placed in the top seven in their Youth 14-18 HUS class at the EOQHA Futurity in Columbus, Ohio, after House was injured and off for over a year. He and I also made the finals in the Green HUS and also placed top 7 out of 25. Watch for us with One Fine Detail at the upcoming shows!

Congratulations to Mariah Sherer and WD Good Fellow for once again placing among the elite Top Ten Hunter Under Saddle horses in Ohio and qualifying nationally for the second year in a row for what will be her final Youth World appearance. Congratulations as well to Rochelle Wilkinson, who also placed among the Top Ten HUS horse and rider combinations in the state of Ohio and for your mid-season rank of #1 in Novice Youth Showmanship for Ohio. We are very proud of both of you!
UPDATE: Mariah and George were boxed in at the Youth World show, and she had to break, but otherwise, the pair had a fantastic show. They made the finals in the Youth HUS at at the NSBA World and placed top ten. Oklahoma is a wrap for the summer. See you there again for the Open World Show in November!

The show season is off to a great start! The girls have been hitting the road to the Ohio shows, and holding their own very well. Both Mariah and Rochelle have enjoyed several class WINS and top five placing's, usually after class splits with finals. The Youth HUS class numbers in Ohio have been great, averaging 5-6 points. The girls only show HUS and Eq and Rochelle shows Showmanship as well. Coming home from these Ohio shows, they have been averaging 10-15 points, which in this stiff Ohio competition, is SUPER! Keep up the good work!

Rochelle Wilkinson and Detail My Assets will be joining Gilliam Quarter Horses' show string in 2014. Rochelle and her family purchased this sweet and talented mare through us a few years back, and we are very excited to help them grow together as a competitive QH team!
We have a few openings for training horses this winter and one or two open spots for students on the road in 2014. Give us a call to discuss training and/or showing in the upcoming year; thank you so much to everyone who made 2013 such a successful journey!

2013 Update Entries

CONGRESS 2013 WRAP-UP: This year brought Congress placings as high as 6th Place and I lost track of the Finalist Medallions between Mariah Sherer and Haley Hartman. But it's more than that... What needs to be understood is that Mariah Sherer came to me less than two years ago as a 4-H girl running barrels, and said she wanted to go to the Youth World in HUS. She and WD Good Fellow are now #6 in the Nation. Haley Hartman was in the same 4-H boat just two years ago, and this year, with a horse I spent six months looking for her, rocked the Non-Pro 3 YO HUS, finishing 7th overall. These girls have come SO far, so fast, I could not be more proud.

The pair earned a bitter-sweet 9th place out of 24 in their split (the top 8 go back to the finals) and finished 40th out of 119 in the Hunt Seat Equitation. We couldn't be more proud of you, Mariah!

Gilliam Quarter Horses would like to congratulate Tara Lawless on the purchase of One Fine Detail, by One Hot Krymsun and out of the great Fine Details. Among many accomplishments for such a young horse, this 4 YO gelding was the MI Breeders Futurity Champion; Co-Champion Tom Powers Futurity and most recently, 4th at the 2012 Congress in NSBA 3 YO NP HUS Stakes. In just two seasons of limited showing, “House” has earned over $8,000. Thank you, Jessica Bailey for selling us this great horse. Watch for Tara in the Non-Pro and Youth HUS events and Casi Gilliam in the Open HUS events.

He is the #2 all-time high HUS NSBA money earner and was most recently 5th overall at the 2012 Congress in the Sr. HUS.
