The Can-Am Equine Extravaganza proved to be a lot of fun last weekend. We brought horses for the Ontario Quarter Horse Association and for the reining demonstrations with Gary Yahdijan. "Horse Power", was a special event that pitted one breed against another for a barrel-racing and pole-bending challenge. 
Here you can see Genzanit, fondly referred to as "Dunnit" or "Donut", representing the Quarter Horse breed, about to run against a Curly Horse. There was also an Appaloosa, Gypsy Vanner, Spotted Draft, Percheron, Miniature Horse, Freisan and a Thoroughbred. 
Gary did a great job explaining job of the reining horse to the crowd. There was a beginner rider or a mid-level trained horse, a skilled non-pro rider on a well-trained horse and Jessie and I as the Open riders on another couple of great horses. 
Jessie did the demonstrations for the Quarter Horse breed with this colt, "Whiz", a grandson of Topsail Whiz. Thanks for having us Can-Am! Hope to see everyone again next year!
