Once, many years ago, there was only ONE national champion, and we could all remember who it was (some of us can still remember them).  Now we have national champions in five different divisions and I can't remember who they were from one year to the next.  I can't even remember who they are from one day to the next.  To me, there seems so little meaning in the awards anymore.  Maybe it's just me, or maybe it is because the awards are so diluted through so many divisions.  
    
    Becky Hart won twice with two different horses, Khazen and Rio.  In
    those days, the National Champion made a speech a the Convention.  It
    was a pretty big deal.
