Eleise Blake, of Whitesboro, Texas, piloted her horse Jills A Little Blue to the National Reined Cow Horse Association Hackamore Classic Non Pro Limited Championship with a 417 composite. Blake collected a check for $819, a CR Morrison Plaque, and a leather notebook from Classic Equine.

Although she has only been showing cow horses for three years, at the 2012 NRCHA Celebration of Champions, she and Jills A Little Blue, by Mecom Blue out of Jills CD, won the Non Pro Limited Championship of the Circle Y Ranch Derby, and then qualified for the World Championship Show finals in both the Non Pro Limited and $5K Non Pro Limited.

Blake noted, "I give a huge thank you to Jay McLaughlin and Carol Rose. I certainly wouldn't be doing this without them. I also thank Dick Pieper for all his help."


Blake, an accountant, owns her own business called Equine Services Unlimited. Her business boasts a full service accounting staff, provides computer technical support and repair, and she also works as a business consultant.
