The love of all kinds of horses began at age 4 for Benedict with his first pony, named Trixie, who pulled a cart that Benedict still has. When Benedict turned 8, he started showing POAs in Southern California. While in high school, Benedict saw a cutting horse that changed his life when he ditched school to watch Buster Welch show "Little Peppy" as a 4-year-old. After that, Benedict's course was set, sending him to cuttings across California. Benedict has been able to share his fondness for horses with his family, and he met his wife, Vickie, when they were both showing horses in California. Benedict stayed in California until the call of family roots in Texas sent him to Weatherford, where he lives and trains today. Benedict applied for his AQHA judges card when he turned 25. He knew he would like picking winners because he had been judging open shows and cuttings for about four years. He now has cards with NCHA and the National Reined Cow Horse Association, too.
