Canada was able to witness Dany Tremblay of St-Damase, Quebec compete this past December in Oklahoma City in the FEI World Reining Masters on November 28th. Dany thrilled the Canadians aboard Tinsel Nic a 8 year old Stallion bred and born in Canada by Brian and Elaine Brown, now owned by Rosanne Sternberg. Tinsel Nic is the highest earning son of Bueno Chexinic and out of Holly Tinseltown by A Famous Amos (Primary Pine). This talented stallion was piloted to a FEI World Reining Masters victory in 2006 with Shawn Flarida aboard. Dany & Tinsel Nic thrilled the crowd and the Canadian with his performance and ended up a solid 7th place in the tough field of competition taking home $4,500 for their efforts.

It is very exciting to see that all three of these winning horses are Canadian bred. The girls were thrilled to be presented with Reining Canada Crystal Maple Leaf Awards.

Reining Canada Young Rider Eastern Canada finals

The Reining Canada Young Rider Eastern Canada finals were held during the Eastern Canada Affiliate Finals at Blacks Equine Centre on the weekend of October 27th and 28th 2007.

As an incentive for this program, any Young Rider who had competed in one Reining Canada Young Rider competition this year could compete in the finals. The top two riders from each final – Western and Eastern Canada – would form a Canadian Young Rider team in 2008 should reining be invited to compete in any international events.
