Jeffrey Tolson
won the
Region 6 Championship,
Sara Nordstrom
took home the Region
7 top honors and

Region IV of the
American Connemara Pony Society
recently held its annual show during the Highfelds “Just for Fun”
show in Aiken, South Carolina. In addition to the regular open
Highfelds classes there were breeding classes for Connemaras,
both purebred and halfbred, as well as Mountain and Moorland
ponies. The Connemara pony is Ireland’s only native breed and
they usually range in size from 13 to 15 hands or more. They
are known for their gentle dispositions, intelligence, hardiness and
jumping ability. For more information on Connemaras (including a
classifed ads section) go to www.acps.org.

It was an emotional day at Spruce Meadows during a tribute
to
Hickstead
, one of the greatest show jumping horses of all
time, who passed away in November 2011. Canadian
Eric
Lamaze
, riding partner of the famed stallion, was on hand
to dedicate the statue made by Mary Sand. The bronze will
stay permanently at Spruce Meadows, as per Eric’s wishes.
