Overall Judge’s Choice:
Maverick
Owned by Cathy Hagen

2025 MEPSA Judge's Choice - Maverick owned by Cathy Hagen

“This is the most perfect photo of a Big Ben imaginable. I don’t own and have never owned any of this mold, but this photo has me obsessed. I MUST HAVE ONE. The lighting highlights the crisp sculptural details that Kathleen Moody puts into all her work, including broadly defined muscles, leg tendons, face veins, and curled lips. The factory paintwork is phenomenal, with painted chestnuts, expressive eyes, and a depth of shading that transforms Mr. Plain Bay from a background extra into the main character.”

GM’s Dan Patch
Owned by Carolyn Bailey

2025 MEPSA Judge's Choice - GM's Dan Patch owned by Carolyn Bailey

“My judge’s choice photograph is GM’s Dan Patch. My very first job working with horses was at my local county fairgrounds, I was just out of high school.
I was never able to have a horse of my own growing up. I spent my summers at my older sister Jenny’s riding her horses or at my cousins riding her neighbors pony. So, when I found this job I was in heaven. My dad said I wouldn’t last long since I wouldn’t be able ride the race horses. To me, I didn’t and don’t need to ride to be happy. Just being around horses is enough for me. But, I did eventually get a horse to ride of my own and he was boarded at the race barn.
Now, back to the picture. This photo just brings back happy memories. Not only of working with these beautiful horses, but of the friend ships I made with the ol’ race guys, who are long gone.
When I got my Morgan gelding, Rebel, I boarded him at the fair grounds in the race barn. One of the race horses had trouble with out riders at races, so I was asked to ride Rebel on the track while he worked her. Another one didn’t like tractors, so I was taught how to drive a tractor. And let me tell you, as a “city” girl this was a big deal for me. One of the other guys, he couldn’t drive his horse out onto the track, she needed to be lead. So, I would walk her out onto the track, then take a couple trips around the track sitting on the side of the sulky.”

“Loved the action in this photo, Titled, “Michigan Pick Up” by Joan Yount (joyou). The softness of the background complimented the horse and action of what the horse was doing. The dust flying from the horses feet, as she slowed down for her rider to pick up his partner, waiting on the barrel, made this a very realistic scene.”
