Manitoba Stampede and Exhibition 2010 Gypsy Horse Breed Demonstration |
We had a wonderful time in Morris, Manitoba at the Manitoba Stampede. Our good friend Cristen Parks had agreed to ride William,
and looked as though she was having a ball, and a new friend to Cyclone Gypsy
Horses, Maria Reimer agreed to help us by leading Zorro in the ring for us. Cora
Hohenberg is riding Pure Reason. We did ridden, in hand, and not pictured but
we also did driven demonstrations. Also not pictured is Joyce Rivers of Trails
End Ranch, she was our announcer. Back at the barns we enjoyed speaking with
all the people who came through and asked questions, we also enjoyed the opportunity
to give people a chance to interact with this wonderful breed. Thank you
everyone for all of your support. |
