    Buffed Chrome is Golden in the Palomino RanksPublished: Saturday, March 26, 2011, 11:08 PM Updated: Sunday, March 27, 2011, 10:30 AM

    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.

    Even more impressive, it was a repeat performance for Buffy, who earned the association's highest honor in 2008 as well. Buffy's record has left her owner, Dee Cameron of Colonia, nearly speechless.

  • 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.

    Eric Straus, who was the show's CEO, left in an amicable parting after he was unable to sell his home in Connecticut. Washington D.C. resident Bridget Love Meehan, who most recently was a senior marketing executive at Discovery Communications, will start this week as executive director.

    "One of the things I want to focus on is getting a whole new generation of young riders interested in the show," said Meehan.

    "This is one of the few shows you can look to as a goal. We need to continue making the show as unique and special as we can and making it a real destination."

    Noting Meehan has been involved with the show as an exhibitor and member of the marketing and communications committee, Reid said, "Bridget brings a wealth of knowledge and expertise in the areas of marketing and sponsorship and she has a strong background and understanding of the requirements needed to produce a world class event."
