Kentucky State Fair 2005

I had the privilege of attending the recent 102nd World Championship Horse Show, in Louisville, Kentucky. What a Show!  The South African 2004 Five Gaited Grand Champion Prince's Domino was brilliant in the Five Gaited Gelding Stake and was eventually crowned on Saturday Night as the Reserve Five Gaited World's Grand Champion. A great achievement for Lionel Ferreira and John Bulmer of England! The Junior Horses were especially of a high standard this year and we can look forward to them showing later on in the Senior Division. 

A highlight was the Champion Three Gaited Junior Exhibitor that was crowned on Saturday night. Gene van der Walt of Singing Hill Stables, in Oregon trained the Champion Tango 4 Ever. What made this feat even more remarkable was that the horse (which are also imported from South Africa)  had a S.A. rider, Nicola van der Walt!  Well done!

Three Stallion's offspring caught the eye namely Revival, First Night Out and Castle Bravo. Would it not be fantastic to import semen to South Africa from these great sires! 

Two  ex-South African Stallions progeny stood out from the rest of the imports, namely (S.A.) Tornaado and Tango's Wee Pee.

I have taken some photographs of some of the World Champions and Reserve World Champions and would like to share it on the website.

I have a special connection with Tornaado (the sire of my stud, Perfect Timing) and was again very impressed with foals (although few) by him that showed. They are featured in a separate gallery.
