Charlie Cole answers questions about Majestic Scotch after the gelding's win in western pleasure.

Majestic Scotch added to his legacy with a world championship in senior western pleasure November 14 at the AQHA World Championship Show.

With Charlie Cole piloting, the 1994 sorrel gelding walked, jogged and loped his way around the Coliseum in Oklahoma City for the second consecutive win in senior pleasure.

“He is a great horse,” Charlie said, “He’s just so nicely talented, and really when I ride him, I’m just trying to let him do what he does best and stay out of his way. It’s a lot of fun.”

After Charlie and “Dickie” made their victory lap, tossing signed T-shirts to the crowd, Charlie asked the horse to perform his signature loping lead changes back to the awards table.

“He loves what he does, and I just sit up here and basically let him do his thing,” Charlie said as he accepted the golden trophy on behalf of the Bilek Family Trust. “It’s all natural, and it’s really easy. I hate to say it – I wish I had to say I work hard, but it’s pretty easy.”

Dickie is an all-around horse with World Show and Ford AQHYA Championship Show appearances in everything from trail to showmanship. He has three world championships in senior western pleasure to go with his 2005 world championship in senior western riding and his four Youth World championships.

But his career isn’t over yet.

“There’s certainly a lot more in (Dickie),” Charlie said. “We have the (senior) western riding finals coming up, so I’m hoping to do good in that, and then his owner, Pam (Bilek), she’s going to do the Select events next year. She just got to show him a little bit this year, and so that’s going to be the main focus of next year is getting her with him in all the events.”
