BURBANK — The region’s best Andalusians and Friesians returned to the Los Angeles Equestrian Center Aug. 11-14 for the 2011 International Andalusian Horse Show Association Region 1 Championships Show, as well as the International Friesian Horse Association Region 10 Championships.

One of the stars of the event was Tio Pepe, shown by Bill Deeney for owner Nadine Tilley of Tilley Andalusians in Hemet. Tio Pepe showed his Western Pleasure prowess by winning the Western Pleasure Junior Horse Regional title, as well as reserve in the Open. On the Friesian side of the big weekend, Beau, owned by Carol Carfagno and trained and ridden by Lauren La Vine, shined brightly, winning three Region 10 Championships in saddle seat, hunter and Part-bred Friesian.
