The pair also won the WIHS Adult Classic and brought home seconds from the M&S and the NAL Classics.
“I think Colorado may be my new favorite summer show,” said Sterba. “It was nice to go somewhere outside of the Midwest and the beauty of the Colorado Horse Park was just incredible. Pat Boyle and Showplace Productions did a fantastic job, as always, putting on a quality show and really making it a fun and enjoyable experience for all the exhibitors and spectators. We'll definitely be back again next year!”
 
The Chyenne Mountain Zoo and the Ropes in Vail.
