I have know Kevin Michael since my first day with Saddle & Bridle in 1988 because he worked for the magazine as our West Coast representative. Kevin first showed at Louisville in 1973 with a road pony. He was only 16 years old at the time and those days the classes weren’t split so he showed with adults. He earned a seventh place ribbon and he remembers that feeling to this day.
In 2002 he catch-drove another pony called Tina Turner and won his first world title for Anna Marie Knipp. Just a couple years ago he showed CH Crystal Creek’s Commander to the win for Sandra Surber, who was unable to make the trip. Today, Sunday August 23, was another special day for our hero Kevin Michael, because he was asked to show Heartland Make My Day for Majestic Oaks and Kay Marschel.
