Carriages and Cattle Vie for Attention at the Princess Louise Park Show Centre in Sussex

June 15, 2008

Sussex, NB --- The New Brunswick Morgan Horse Show entertained spectators, showing off the versatile breed of horses being both ridden and driven throughout the week-end. Foals, mares, geldings and stallions were shown in-hand to demonstrate the best characteristics of the breed. They were ridden in equitation, hunter, English and Western classes. Harnessed to carriages, they were driven through obstacle courses and performed driven dressage (patterns) tests under the watchful eyes of Judge Sandra Johnson of N. Brandford, CT. Competitors from both NB and NS accumulated points toward awards. Details available on the NB Morgan Club website at http://www.geocities.com/arali10ca/

Next door in the Ronnie Wilkins Memorial Cattle Penning Corral more than 20 teams of 3 riders each competed in cattle penning. An ideal family sport, cattle penning provides both speed and excitement for participants and spectators alike.

Next week-end the Maritime Quarter Horse Association is hosting the first in its series of shows. This three-day event, beginning Friday morning, will include in-hand classes, English and Western riding and trail obstacles – classes for youths and adults. Drop in anytime. Parking and admission are free. Information can be found on the MQHA website at http://www.maritimeqha.com/
