Week one of the Santa Barbara National Horse Show crowns champion

SANTA BARBARA, Calif. - Santa Barbara crowned a champion during week one of the Santa Barbara National Horse Show this weekend. The show is one of the city's biggest and celebrated traditions with a variety of activities, tours and photo ops. This weekend was the multi-breed show and a Cal Poly San Luis Obispo Alum was named champion.

"I'm super proud of him, it's really hard on them to go into that arena with that many horses with the loud speakers and all that kind of noise that's going on," said champion Rebecca Lisberg. "So for them to be able to contain themselves and to stop and walk is a really big ask, so I'm very proud of him for doing that. I've owned him for about four years now and so since I've got him, I've been trying to work on like pivots and the extended gates and all that kind of stuff."

July 9-13 is week two of the National Horse show at the Earl Warren Showgrounds and continues with its hunters and jumpers category.
