2022 Royal Ambassador, Winston Unveiled
On June 28th, The Royal Agricultural Winter Fair
proudly unveiled the 2022 Royal Ambassador, Winston. The 26-year-old Percheron Cross is over 1.7 metres
tall and will be a key figure in the centennial celebration. Winston joins the line of beloved Royal Ambassadors, which includes Turbo the Goat, Lil Ben the Miniature Horse, and rooster-duo, The Royal Duke and his son The Royal Roy. “Given the significance of this year’s Fair, we knew
we needed a larger-than-life ambassador to embody ‘A Century of Champions’. We’re incredibly proud to have Winston on board - a majestic draft horse who is an icon in this city’s history.” said Charlie Johnstone, Chief Exec- utive Officer, The Royal Agricultural Winter Fair. Donated through a partnership between The Royal

years. Back in June 1988 summer

Lynda Harrison Sisson
wrote an article in The Rider scolding those horse owners and trainers on the way horses were
being presented at the show ring. These new show tactics were being ridiculed by many and they were insulting to the horse as well. The derogatory term was Peanut Rollers. The Rider re- ceived several letters in support for Lynda.

Here we were into our June issue and breeders were still running advertise- ments on breeding horses. Pat and Clare Smith of
this position. June 25 -26 was the Annual
Affiliated Club Championship show at the Paris Fair Grounds. If you were there you knew the fun and excitement of a really well run and organized horse event.

Bill Oja’s column had at-
tracted a lot of attention from Readers of The Rider. It seems that there were a lot of C and W fans in our readership.
My Turn Not much to gripe about this
issue. I was at the Grand Opening of the new Ancaster Agricultural Event Centre. The Gala Opening was a fund raiser event. I met a lot of old friends but a lot were missing. This facility will knock

the socks off the horse industry. I understand that the facility is booking fast. Congratulations to the board of directors for taking such a bold and expensive step. Just for the record The Rider’s first edition had the total front page dedicated to the Old An- caster Fair Grounds featuring the Ancaster Saddle Club. Please support Ukraine. We
did. Our sister company Orange aPEEL sent $6,000 worth of Hand Sanitizer over there. What have you done to help? Remember that you and
