CNQHS Concludes and Show Daddy is Named 2018 Super Horse.
Another succesful Canadian National Quarter Horse Show concluded Sunday in Red Deer, Alberta after a week of showing. 137 National Champions were crowned taking home the highly coveted championship buckle.
the 2018 show saw great entries with multiple point classes in most divisions including 29 entries in the level 1 Amateur Showmanship and 19 in the Amateur Showmanship class. The level one classes continued to show strong numbers in both the Amateur and Youth divisions and the health of the Canadian industry appeared strong with 17 adorable and talented entries in the leadline division.
Winning the 2018 Canadian National Super Horse title for 2018 was Show Daddy, shown and owned by Deserie Reiu. This incredible sorrel gelding by VS Code Blue and out of the great mare Show Diva racked up the High Point Sr Horse award as well as a championship in Novice Amateur Hormanship with Dana Reiu and the Reserve National Championship titles in Sr Western Pleasure and Sr Western Riding. Show Daddy also earned high placings in the Trail and HUS classes to win the award and prove his versatility. “Benny” as he is known in the barn is owned by trainer Deserie, but is really a family horse as her sister Dana also competes on him for now until Deserie’s niece (Dana’s daughter) Olivia grows up and is ready to take the reins.
