Harrisburg, PA - October 15, 2008 - Megan Brodbeck of Spring Grove, PA and A Bit Of Gold were an unbeatable combination at the Pennsylvania National Horse Show, walking away with top honors in the very competitive $10,000 North American League Children's Hunter Final. This is the first year that Brodbeck and her mount have competed in the NAL Finals. Brodbeck bought A Bit Of Gold, an 8 year old chestnut gelding, as a young horse and has worked with him throughout his career to get to this point. They had a very successful season, 3rd in the point standings coming into the Final. "I was a nervous wreck before going into the ring," said Brodbeck, an18-year-old Penn State freshman. "He took care of me the first couple of fences until I got my feet back under me. He's like that, very competitive. He walks into the ring ready to go." Brodbeck's first round score of 84 put her solidly in the top 12 to return for a second round. Her second round score of 86 clinched the win, with a combined score of 170. Second place went to Kristina Sprenkle of Seven Valleys, PA, and her 6 year old bay mare Eden, with a two round score of 164. These two riders are not only competitors; they are barn mates and friends, training together at Woodberry Farm with Chris Gemmil. The NAL runs season-long series in six hunter-jumper divisions - Adult Hunter, presented by Practical Horseman, Children's Hunter, Open Jumper Speed, Adult Jumper, Children's Jumper and Pony Jumper. All horses competing in the NAL finals earn U.S. Equestrian Federation Horse-of-the-Year points. The NAL qualifying period started September 1, 2007 and ended August 31, 2008. While riders did not need to be members of the NAL to compete in any qualifying classes, only current members earned points toward year-end finals. The NAL series is sponsored by horsetrader.com.

The American Horse Council Joins Forces with Markel Insurance Company
TThe American Horse Council is excited to announce that Markel Insurance Company has become the newest Commercial Sponsor of the AHC. This is a great opportunity for Markel to show their support of the American Horse Council, the horse industry’s unified voice in Washington, D.C. “We are pleased to have the support of Markel, and together we will continue to pave the way for great things to happen for the horse industry in Washington,” said Jay Hickey, AHC President.
The American Horse Council works on issues in Washington that affect the horse industry both directly and indirectly. As they near their 40th anniversary, the impact and influence that the AHC has had on the horse industry is undeniable. Many of the activities that you enjoy with your equines have been affected by the American Horse Council’s hard work and efforts to preserve the integrity of the horse industry. A list of the last 25 years of accomplishments can be found at www.horsecouncil.org. Markel Insurance Company develops and underwrites specialty insurance products and programs for a variety of niche markets, including horse farms, riding and show animal clubs, dude ranches, guides and outfitters, and private horse owner's liability. Markel is known as "the insurance company with horse sense" for good reason--they've been insuring horses, farms, and other equine-related activities for over 40 years. “We are delighted to be the first commercial sponsor of the AHC and we are certain that others will soon be joining us in our proud support for the American Horse Council,” said Pat Mullins of Markel Insurance.
