A warm thank you to the owners, riders and trainers for doing such a wonderful job with "our horses" and a very big thank you to Rio Grande & Viva Voltaire and our wonderful broodmares for the great horses they are producing. Thank you to our staff for caring for the foals, mares, young horses and stallions so well and for doing a great job starting the young horses.
We would be happy to show our youngsters to you at your convenience -
hopefully you will find "your next Champion" in Stratford, Ontario.
