AQHA Director’s Report


By Kathy Patterson AQHA Director


Young Horse Development Program


The Zoetis Ranching Her-


itage Young Horse Development program, is a wonderful opportu- nity for AQHYA members 12 years and older receive a hands- on horse training opportunity fo- cusing on the fundamentals of horsemanship. The program is not only an excellent educational experience; it is also a lot of fun! Prizes and scholarships are at stake. Participants can showcase the skills and knowledge they have acquired for chances to win scholarships and awards. Youth can participate in the program with a donated foal or purchasing a Ranching Heritage Challenge- nominated foal from a Ranching Heritage Breeder. Throughout the program, participants further their knowledge in horse health by prioritizing equine wellness. Participants are encouraged to help ensure their horse’s health


by working closely with a veteri- narian and completing the Good Start Equine Wellness Certifi- cate. The certificate outlines key aspects of horse health care to help build a solid foundation of equine wellness for both horses and youth members. Developed by YHD sponsor Zoetis and AQHA, the Good Start certifi- cate records veterinary wellness exam details, including core and risk-based vaccinations, to help the weanlings excel in both health and performance. The priority application


deadline for the 2020 program is August 15, 2019, and the late ap- plication deadline is October 1, 2019. Apply by the priority dead- line for the best chance of admis- sion into the program and the most likely match with a horse closest to your home. Partici-


Shes Sizzling is red hot on Father’s Day at Ajax Downs


AJAX DOWNS, JUNE 16, 2019 - In front of a large and boisterous Fa- ther’s Day crowd at Ajax Downs, SHES SIZ- ZLING, owned by Joyce and Erik Lehtinen of Uxbridge, ON, won a thrilling renewal of the $55,700 Ontario Bred Derby on Sunday. The Derby high-


lighted an afternoon in which fans won a free rid- ing lesson from jockey Corrine Andros at her Royal Canadian Riding Academy in Newmarket (awarded to on-track fans with a program whenever Andros wins a race), a free burger from the pop- ular McCoy Burger Com- pany (when any jockey wins two races) and saw a track record set for the 110-yard Gridiron Gal- lop.


In the Ontario Bred


Derby, She’s Sizzling, ridden by Ramiro Castillo, overtook even- money favourite Five Bar Fandango and then held off a late charge by Shake It Twice to win by a de- termined neck. The 3- year-old daughter of Sizzlin Cartel raced 300 yards in :15.470 for a 95 Speed Index, earning her first stakes victory. “I have worked with this


filly and the Lehtinens for about two months,” said Castillo. “She was very focused today and she was just perfect.” Shake It Twice, ridden by


Cory Spataro, was making just her second start of 2019 for owner and breeder Chantelle Bourgeois, and was half a length ahead of Five Bar Fandango, owned by Carol and Jaime Robertson, for second. Earlier in the afternoon,


pants may be selected and matched with horses any time after August 15. For more infor- mation and to apply go to the AQHA website and complete the Young Horse Development Proj- ect application form and waiver.
