Winning is what Buffed Chrome does best: The petite mare was the Palomino Horse Breeders of America's top palomino and top performance horse while she also led the way in the youth 14-18 high-point all-around championship and the novice youth category as the 2010 awards were presented last weekend in Oklahoma.

It seems inevitable at this point that protective headgear eventually will be mandatory for all ages and divisions that are under the U.S. Equestrian Federation, which passed such a rule for eventing and dressage earlier this year.

The Washington International Horse Show has a new lease on life after the signing of a three-year agreement with the Verizon Center, its home in the heart of the city.

There were always rumors that the show would not be able to survive because of the high cost of putting it on in an urban area at a major arena. The agreement should silence the naysayers. And despite the inconveniences involved, such as stabling on the street, exhibitors continue to make the show a goal because it enjoys a special cachet from being in the nation's capital.

"It is our goal to continue to ensure Washington is a `must-attend' event for the equestrian world and the Washington D.C. community," said Juliet Reid, the show's president.
