WESTERN PLEASURE HORSE OF ONTARIO
ROM'S in JR. WESTERN PLEASURE & NON-PRO WESTERN PLEASURE
An
extraordinary young stallion, who gave his heart to his trainer
and rider Melissa Aceto. Miles gave her 200% every time she showed
him. When Melissa first began to show Miles, she was a youth.
Realistically it would have been more politically correct for
Miles to have had a well-known male trainer at the helm, especially
with the gender discrimination that occurs in every Appaloosa
pleasure class with the exception of Ladies & Mens.
So,
here's our story:
Going back to when Miles was a 2 year old, a very bad decision
on our part put Miles in a dangerous situation. It wasnt until
his four year old year that Miles finally began to overcome his
fears. He shouldn't have been able to lope a stride in a show
ring again... but he did!
In
2006 with Melissa as his partner, they won High Point Junior &
Ladies Western Pleasure of Ontario. The next year at the US National
show they earned a 6th place in Novice Non-Pro Western Pleasure.
Miles was different now as he had developed a style of his own
and a confident air was about him as he and his young female rider
slugged it out in open classes in New York and Michigan, placing
in the top 4 regularly.
 By
the time of the 2007 World Show, Melissa and Miles were ready.
Meliss and her coach and mentor, Brock McCauley worked long hours
with Miles, training him to be flawless and indeed he was. It
was a great show for the pair.
Melissa
and Miles walked into the ring like they owned it, putting forth
perfect transitions with style and beautiful movement. Miles went
through the entire class with his ears forward. The pair won the
World title in Novice Non-Pro Western Pleasure and later placed
8th in Jr. Western Pleasure.
I
can remember one evening while having a conversation with Brock
when I asked him how he would rank Miles as a stallion. He said,
"well, you have the perfect pleasure horse conformation,
lots of Appaloosa colour and a horse with loads of talent with
beautiful movement. On top of that, Miles has a mind that has
overcome, is quiet, very smart and pleasantly kind.". Brock
went on to say, "you might find another horse like Miles,
or maybe not. But one sure fire way is to breed him to your best
mare and I'll be he'll some some little Miles, just like him!".
