2011 CNE

[djskid]

I am an avid lurker, seldom poster, but wanted to share our big news! We went to the CNE for the first time this year and our little man ended up being the Grand Champion Stallion!!

We were absolutely thrilled!! This little guy is what started our switch over from standardbreds to the minis and is my Dad's pride and joy! Now we have to listen to my Dad telling us how good the little guy is even more than usual!!

We were proud of all four that we took!

 

It seemed like there was a good turnout-I think 24 in the solid colour class and 23 in the multi. 14 in two of the driving classes and 13 in the obstacle driving. The other classes were somewhat smaller.

Thanks for the comments! Nice seeing you too Desiree! Congrats on your wins!!

Edited to add since someone requested:

and then for good measure...here's his yearling daughter waiting for her turn!

There was also 11 in the weanling foal class!... Which a very special filly won! LOL

There was Liberty of 28 horses in the evening too.

It was a great show and a lot of fun! It was great seeing you and your dad there, and hope to see you there again next year!

He is lovely! I really like silver dapples, particularly the ones who are soooo silver

and he is put together very nicely to go along with his gorgeous color.

The Canadian National Exhibition. It's the largest fair in Canada, held in Toronto, and one of the top 10 largest/best fairs in North America.

P.S. As an aside, a big scene from "The Black Stallion" was filmed in that very ring

Congratulations to both you and your dad.
