Well what a show! We had some fantastic results from the Sileby horses.
Sileby Kruzsader was entered in three classes, Purebred Sporthorse 4yo and Over, Purebred Stallion 4 to 7yo and the Liberty class. Kruz placed 1st Arabian Sporthorse 4yo, a big thank you to the class sponsor Noran Arabians. This was the firs time a sport horse class has been offered and one of the classes I was really keen to do well in considering my aim is to produce Arabian Sport Horses so I was thrilled with this win. In the Purebred Stallion 4-7yo class Kruz again placed first, although it was by default as the other competing stallion had a gear mishap and got loose resulting in his unfortunate elimination. It would have been interesting to see who would have won otherwise. Lastly our Liberty class, also the first time Liberty has been offered for a very long time. Kruz put on a fantastic show, he was very tired and over it all so he didn’t put in as much effort as he usually does at home but he still did everything he was asked to do, kept a level head, displayed his wonderful temperament, movement and train-ability and took out 1st place – Champion Liberty Horse for 2015 winning the $250 prize. I’m just absolutely thrilled with him, only his 4th show and he surprises me every time.
Sileby Katana owned and shown by Tania Oosterhof also did us proud. She won 1st place in Purebred Arabian Sporthorse 3yo and under also sponsored by Noran Arabians, so another big thank you to them for supporting these new classes with sponsorship. Then she placed 2nd in Purebred 3yo Filly class. Katana was entered in the Liberty class and she put on a fantastic display. Showing her wonderful movement and temperament as she stayed with Tania and it looked like they were dancing together as they moved around.
So some fantastic results, Sileby horses winning both sporthorse classes, and fantastic displays in Liberty with Kruz winning.
