Despite their recent partnership, Commanders Whiz Chic and Sophia Kent became well-acquainted at the SWRHA Futuity, winning the Rookie Professional [2] with a 71.
“I only rode her probably four or five times in total but she’s such a nice mare, so easy, so good and really wants to do her job. She had a great foundation on her so prepping her was really keeping her as quiet as possible,” Kent explained.
Commanders Whiz Chic (Commanders Nic x Oh What Whiz) originally came to Ty and Rhea Pole’s facility to be sold, and ended up being sold within the barn to Martha Prieskorn. Kent kept riding the mare for Prieskorn and was offered the chance to take her into the show pen at the SWRHA.
“I want to thank Martha Prieskorn for giving me the opportunity and Ty and Rhea Pole for taking me under their wing and letting me show these super nice horses,” Kent said.
