10/ SEPTEMBER 2023 THE RIDER
Pro and Non-Pro Reiner Article Series The Steel City Slide show
at Ancaster was incredible!! Wow – our shows continue
to grow! Our feet didn’t touch the
ground for the whole time the show was on – we started the prep work on Wednesday August 16, with Colie Florica starting to drag the ground for the way we Reiners need it. Colie does an amazing job each and every show. Our incredible group of pre-show volunteers helped us hang goodie bags on stalls, put the sponsor banners up (more on our sponsors next month), dis- tribute the shavings and get the place ready for move in on Thursday, thank you to Lisa McCue, Jamie Breedon, Brook- lyn Breedon, Peter Johnson This show featured a Fri-
day Freestyle, Saturday Derby, two Ranch classes and new for this show – a Working Western Rail class. We also partnered with the Canadian Quarter Horse As- sociation (AQHA/ CQHA) and they sponsored divisions in the Ranch classes, the Working Western Rail, and the Youth.
SHOW HIGHLIGHTS The Friday Freestyle was a
lot of fun and our goal is to run this at every show – as riders show off their horse’s ability to whatever music they like! The Freestyle was sponsored by BML Roofing Systems Ltd. The winner for both Open
and Non-Pro was Katelyn Cofell riding Aint No Bucklebunny rid- ing to a Barbie song! Saturday’s Derby was very
exciting – with top-notch horses and riders battling it out, there were 4 divisions and 4 winners: Level 4 open: Chet Martin on Starrlightwhizz owned by Bil Rinzema Level 1 Open: Darby Mailhot on Hang On Im Juiced owned by Darby
Non-Pro Level 4: Todd Sherrer on Charlottes Code owned by Dareth Miller Non-Pro Level 1: Al Rose on FM Epic Love owned by Al Derby was sponsored by HR Prospects. After the Derby, competi-
tors got to enjoy dinner of sausage on a bun sponsored by Paul and Gail Reid of Glendar- von Farms. The Ranch classes were
sponsored by Jessica Parsons Farrier Service, with divisions sponsored by AQHA/CQHA. We had 38 entries in the Friday Ranch class (Open and Non-Pro), of those 24 also entered the AQHA division. and our Work- ing Western Rail on Saturday had 33 entries across the Open and Non-Pro – as this was the first time we have hosted this class we had no idea it would attract this many participants! All our results from the
show are on our website:

2025: June 5 – 8 August 14 - 17
