Pink Lloyd’s Last Race


Dave and I are blessed to own our dream farm in Orangeville, Ontario, where we take great pleasure in training, breeding and showing Quarter Horses.

Sailing with swift, daring strides Running at them


Dave is a long-time trainer and has a keen eye for talented young horses, and matching horses to clients. We have had much success selling high quality show horses, and take great pride in watching them succeed in the show pen.


Hearts of a country beating within you Hands of a country rested upon you as you gallop


The look of kings, of eagles in your eyes, luminous –


as you rush by them, like so many times before


your red coat gleaming, running at them, running by them, like so many times before Except, this time is the last time The crowd stands in awe, captivated by your determination


Tears because you are our horse Tears because you are our great horse Marked in history along with the marvels of the past –


and the marvels to come –


a well-deserved standing ovation Hearts of a coun- try beating within you


Hands of a coun- try rested upon you, our cham- pion
