AMARILLO, Texas — The 2010 Adequan Select World Championship Show featured 1,142 entries competing for 41 world championships in a variety of classes — a big field by any standard. Coming home to California with the top amateur title was Susan Wilson of Ramona, who showed her Quarter Horse, Knowtorious, to the Farnam Select All-Around Amateur Championship after the pair had earned 73 points in six classes. Included in her performance at the show, held Aug. 29-Sept. 4 at the Amarillo National Center, was a world championship in hunt seat equitation and a pair of reserve world championships in showmanship and western riding, respectively. She also finished eighth in trail and was a finalist in performance horse halter geldings.
With the title, Wilson received $10,000, a bronze by Lisa Perry, $1,000 in Farnam products, a WeatherBeeta embroidered horse blanket, and a rose bouquet.
