2017 CGHC Spring show - southern California
Our Annual Spring Show is an event that Gypsy & Gypsy Cross exhibitors and enthusiasts look forward to each year. It is a fantastic kickoff to our show season here on the West Coast and always very well attended! It's a great opportunity for exhibitors and their horses to stretch their legs after a long winter while also enjoying the chance to network and reconnect with fellow Gypsy owners and fans.
Each year we partner with the wonderful CAL-SHO (California Show Horse Organization) group and join forces with their Spring Show, making the weekend one filled with fun, education and plenty of new friendships. For 2017 were are honored to be invited to join the 19th Annual Fiesta Charity Show, April 28th-30th.
The Fiesta Charity Show isn’t just a show, it’s an event, and a very popular one at that! Welcoming 1000’s of spectators each day and with over 4,000 tickets sold for the Main Event Extravaganza on Sunday alone, this will be an amazing opportunity for the Gypsy Community. We will get to introduce the public to this incredible breed while being able to showcase what makes these Gypsies so special. This will also be great marketing opportunity for breeders and those with horses for sale!
This Charity Show is dedicated to raising awareness and much needed funds for Cancer Research and it’s an honor for the CGHC to be able to join in our support. They have raised Awareness and Funds for the American Cancer Society, Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer, Kure-it Cancer Research, Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, USC Norris Comprehensive Cancer Center, Roy & Patricia Disney Cancer Center and Wounded Warriors.
We welcome competitors from across the United States to come join us for this special and unique event. This is show #1 for the 2017 CGHC Year End High Point Awards Program

Meet your judge - richard petty
Richard Petty’s lifelong passion for the equine world had early roots in his family’s business in Colorado and was launched in the early 1970s with John Rogers Arabians in Walnut Creek, California. During his tenure as a trainer, he earned numerous Canadian and U.S. National Top Tens, as well as National and Reserve National Championships in Halter, Western Pleasure, Pleasure Driving and English Pleasure.
In 2002 Richard’s career path shifted to horse show judging full time. He has held Registered status with the Arabian division for over 30 years and is currently a USEF Registered judge with National Show Horse, Western, Friesian, Andalusian, Morgan and Shetland breeds, and has judged each of their National and World shows on numerous occasions. Richard is a recorded judge in the Saddlebred, Saddle Seat Equitation, Hackney and Roadster divisions with USEF. He is also a senior judge with both Miniature Horse Association – AMHA and AMHR – as well as with the Pinto Horse Association. He has been judging Gypsy Shows for over a decade, including the 2006 & 2010 OSF Gypsy Show, the 2014 CGHC Fall Show and the 2015 Mt Hood Show.
In 2012 Richard was inducted into the Pinto Association’s Judges Hall of Fame and in 2015 was inducted into the AHA Judges Hall of Fame. Richard has been an invited judge throughout the U.S., Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South America, Europe and South Africa. He is well known and highly regarded for his honesty, fairness and integrity and enjoys widespread respect among his peers and the general public.
With over a decade of experience judging the Gypsy Breed, we are honored to have a judge who is so knowledgeable and well versed for the 2017 CGHC Spring Show!
