Victoria Lambert held up her family’s winning tradition at Gordyville by placing Guaranteed By Amos (Primary Pine x Okies Paulette x Okie Paul Quixote) second in the Intermediate Non-Pro division with a score of 214.5. Originally trained by Pat Rogers, the 5-year-old mare was purchased by the Lamberts in 2007.

Victoria Lambert won several regional futurities and was a 2007 NRHA Futurity Non-Pro finalist. “Sam [Smith] took over her training in late 2008,” Lambert explained. “He did a spectacular job, not only getting her ready for me and giving me some insight on how to do a better job of showing her, but he also gave me a lot of confidence in myself.

I felt really prepared when I entered the arena. I had a rider bobble at the first stop, but was able to correct and improve the last two stops. I think what was most exciting for me was that instead of falling apart after a mistake I got better. I credit Sam for helping me get to a better place in my riding.”
