Olena Oak and Ron Emmons
Olena Oak and California trainer Ron Emmons returned to the Magnificent 7 All Around Stock Horse Championship to defend their title. The duo showed in four events – herd work, reined work, fence work and steer stopping – and bested a field of 12 entries to capture the Championship once again. The event was held in conjunction with the Western States Horse Expo in Sacramento, Calif., and was sponsored by Western Horseman magazine.
The 2003 stallion, Olena Oak (Smart Chic Olena x Fritzs Oak E Doakie x Doc's Oak), is owned by Mel Smith and Nichole Scott. Since his show career began in 2005, the sorrel stallion, nicknamed “Ernie,” has accumulated $222,557 in Equi-Stat earnings. Emmons has more than $750,000 on his Equi-Stat record after this win.
Hes Wright On (Lenas Wright On x Shesa Lota Nic x Reminic), a 2003 stallion owned by Gardiner Quarter Horses, was ridden by Doug Williamson for the Reserve Championship.
