The Yorkton Miniature Horse Show wrapped up last Saturday at the Yorkton Exhibition Summer Fair.
Featuring horses and representatives from all over Saskatchewan (including Pilot Butte and Grand Coulee) and Manitoba, the show provided a chance for owners and horse trainers to have their animals tested and evaluated through competition.
As Tom Lamont, Chairman of the Yorkton Miniature Horse Show, explains, the horses are judged on a series of criteria.
These include confirmation, colour and performance classes such as; barrels, pole-bending and roadster driving.
For Lamont, the final day of competition was a busy one.
"(I'm)?making sure the exhibitors are happy and trying to put a good show on," he details.
?The two-day show, spanning the Friday and Saturday of the fair, was largely considered a success by both all those involved.
"(It was) excellent. We had a nice show yesterday, the exhibitors were very cooperative and had a good time,"?Lamont recalls, "We had both youth and adult classes, so I think everybody had a good time.?Most everybody got a share of the prizes and the ribbons and hopefully everybody went home happy."?
The major prize for the event went Donna Russell from Parkbeg, SK. The horse shown by Russell took home the "Supreme Champion" title on both days of the show.
