RAWF 2013: AURELIUS

Our lovely homebred Aurelius (Maurice X La Sophie) was the lone representation for Braeburn at the Royal Winter Fair this year. He was competing in the Amateur Owner division with his new owner and was incredible for his first time showing indoors. He was 3rd in a very competitive under saddle class, and had some great trips over fences. His dam was our wonderful foundation mare La Sophie (Sophie) who sadly recently passed.

Here is a video of the stake class:

We are incredibly proud of Marcus!

Fall 2012 Update: TENZIN B

This fall our homebred Tenzin B out of Sophie by Westporte qualified for the prestigious Governor's General Cup and Liutenant General Cup for three year old Canadian bred horses at the Royal Agricultural Winter Fair.

The Royal environment is enough to faze an experienced horse, but Tenzin was as calm as a cucumber!

Here are some photos from the qualifiers at RCRA in September:

He was 7th on the line, and 8th under saddle in a super competitive group of three year olds!

Congrats to his owners Alan and Sue Manning :)

Royal Results

The Royal Winter Fair went incredibly well for Braeburn Farms! Katavi our 3 year old homebred mare by Cabardino and out of Leda by Lacros was 7th in the Governor's General Cup (on the line) and 2nd in the Lieutenant Governor's Cup (under saddle).

Ava by Voltaire was also Champion in the 18 - 35 Adult Amateur division! Ava will be retired in 2012 and will be bred for a 2013 baby :)
