Letter From Cleve
Our 2010 show season started in March at the Prairie Circuit in Oklahoma City. Amble with Ease won the circuit awards in the Green Western Pleasure with Andy Cochran and the Select Western Pleasure with Linda Sargent and Amble So Good won the circuit award in the Junior Western Pleasure.
Our next show we went back to Oklahoma City for the Spring Circuit where Gotta Good Machine won the circuit awards in the Senior Western Pleasure with Andy and the Select Western Pleasure with Linda, while Amble with Ease won the circuit in the Green Western Pleasure.
The next stop for us was the Waco, Texas for the Texas Amateur Show, where Amble So Good won the Junior Western Pleasure circuit award and was Reserve in the Amateur Western Pleasure with Lindsay Pearce. Jane Backus and A Moving Machine were the circuit champions in the Novice Amateur Western Pleasure with 6 firsts. Andy also showed A Movin Machine in the Open 3 year old NSBA class and was Reserve Champion.
In Waco we started two new teams, Casey Kimberlin on Elegant Hotrod and Kris Hawkins on Range Rover, watch for them at future shows. After Waco the horses needed a rest and I was off to Italy to spend some time with my friends at Casanova Farms.
When I returned, we prepared for the Texas Classic here in Fort Worth . Amble So Good won the Junior Western Pleasure circuit and the Amateur Western Pleasure with Andy and Lindsay. Jane showed A Movin Machine and won the Novice Amateur circuit and Linda showed Gotta Good Machine to win the Select Amateur. After the Texas Classic, I took Amble So Good to the Red Bud and we won the 10,000 NSBA Maturity.
I would like to Congratulate Terry and Ross Allen and Tom Forehand on their purchase of Amble with Potential, one of the best breed colts in the Pleasure industry. He is by Certain Potential and out of the great Zippo Amble Easy.
Also Congratulations to Bob and Kay Truely from Conroe Texas for their purchase of Good Girl Erin.
We are home for a while and then we will be heading to Conyers , GA for the Big A Circuit and Tunica, MS for the Southern Belle Invitational. Good luck at your summer shows and let me know if we can help you in any way.

"Advice for Amateurs from Cleve Wells"
By Marilyn Morris Mayer

AQHA World Champion trainer Cleve Wells of Burleson, Texas, who has guided numerous amateur western pleasure riders to the heights of success through the years (while garnering countless Congress and World Show wins as well himself), delves into what it takes to make it all work...

RIDING THE 'NEW' LOPE: Advice from Cleve Wells The lope, as we knew it, no longer belongs in AQHA classes. Now judges are asking for a 'lope with a slight increase in forward motion' ...and that's just fine with Cleve Wells!

I would like to introduce a new training
tool, the CB
Training Rein. Designed by Clark Bradley, one of the greatest horseman
of our time. Clark shared the CB training Rein with me at the Congress
last year. Several training friends and I have been using this tool
ever since. We all feel the CB Training Rein has been an asset to our
programs. This tool allows you to have a soft entrance to your horse's
mouth and then has a stopper to catch the rein. After that, you are
working hand to mouth. It is like a German Martingale, but much lighter
and can be adjusted more accurately to fit each horse and their needs.
For those of you not familiar with a German Martingale, this is like
riding and having the best of draw reins and bridle reins all in one.
This is a must have for the beginner who is unsure in using their hands
all the way to professionals who are enhancing performance. Click
