I love to see the big Draft horses and the Six Horse Hitch is my favorite. So on Saturday August 3 my husband and I set off to see them compete at the Canadian National Draft Horse Show. We arrived well before the class so I would have time to walk around the stabling area and see the horses being prepared.
As it is summer, and flies abound, the grooms were careful to apply lots of fly spray to help keep the flies from bothering the horses. Once the braiding is done the harness, which has been kept on storage racks, is taken to the horses to be put on.
My husband and I had lunch and took our seats to watch the competition. There were nine teams ! I will be posting a separate post about the competition tomorrow. I hope you will come back to see who won! Was it the beautiful black Percherons? The Clydesdales? Or the Belgians?
Fascinating and informative. Beautiful horses! A Belgian friend recently sent me a video link about Belgian Brabantines that pull nets through sea shallows to gather shrimp, more of a legacy practice than an income producer. Again, beautiful horses.
They are very patient. Ther8is the occasional foot stomp but they are trained to stand quietly. But once in harness the lead horses are pretty pumped up about it. Well behaved but clearly full of enthusiasm.
My most favorite of all horses. I raised shires, I do miss them. So beautiful. I will have to try to see a show this summer yet. Thank you for sharing the photos. There is nothing like them hitched to a wagon.
I would love that, I am not anywhere near places that have shows this year. I do miss going. There are not to many shires present at shows anymore, unless it is shires only. I love all of them. I will look forward to seeing more.
At the turn of the century, the horse show world, like much of the rest of the world, looked forward to a new age filled with technological advances and high competition. Although both played a significant role in the equine industry during the first decade of the new millennium, after the midnight glitter settled on Jan. 1, 2000, and everyone realized Y2K was something to be celebrated and not survived, the horse world got back to business.
At the Chronicle, the 2000s brought a variety of changes to both format and staff. In March 2006, Tricia Booker became editor at the magazine when John Strassburger retired, and in 2010 Beth Rasin succeeded Booker. Strassburger continued to write columns for the magazine.
The Chronicle website grew and evolved into a platform for up-to-the-minute news and daily coverage of events. Instead of waiting a week to read about the latest competition, the 2000s saw a rise in the amount of online coverage from horse shows across the world.
After the world was shocked by the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks in the United States, the horse show world skidded to a stop. Canceled flights and safety concerns prevented international travel, and horse show organizers questioned whether it was disrespectful to hold competitions in the days following 9/11. At the Lincoln American Gold Cup in Devon, Pennsylvania, riders and spectators alike wore red, white and blue ribbons as the show continued.
Four years later, Hurricane Katrina caused severe flooding on the Gulf Coast; animals were abandoned or lost, and food was scarce. However, the equine community jumped to action to send hay and grain to the area, evacuate animals in danger and find new homes for unclaimed pets. On Sept. 9, 2005, a report in the Chronicle described some of the rescue efforts:
Technological advances in the 2000s allowed competitors to not only submit entries for competitions online but also to see results instantaneously. In 2003, the Upperville Horse Show (Virginia), the oldest horse show in the country, provided results online to celebrate its 150th anniversary and joined more than 420 shows that submitted results electronically to the organization then called USAEquestrian.
In July 2006, scientists began sequencing the horse genome, and on Feb. 7, 2007, the first draft of the horse genome sequence was publicized. Stem cell therapy with adult stem cells as well as embryo stem cells expanded treatment options for ligament or tendon injuries in horses by injecting stem cells directly to the site of the injury.
By 2008, international derby classes were popping up on the calendar across the country, with 30 hosted that year, and they continued growing in popularity throughout the rest of the decade. The inaugural $100,000 ASG Software Solutions/USHJA International Hunter Derby was held at the Kentucky Horse Park in August of 2009, and John French rode the gray gelding Rumba to first place.
The debate between the long and short formats for eventing competitions raged throughout the 2000s. In 2004, Rolex Kentucky included long and short format options so that riders could prepare for the new short-format Athens Olympic Games. In 2006, the Kentucky, Badminton (England) and Burghley (England) four-stars transitioned to the short format to prepare for the FEI World Equestrian Games in Aachen, Germany. Although the organizers of the Kentucky event originally planned to go back to the long format in 2007, it never happened.
Dressage superstars Debbie McDonald and Brentina launched to international dressage greatness in the 2002 World Equestrian Games in Jerez, Spain, when they helped the U.S. team earn silver. Individually, they placed second in the Grand Prix Special and fourth in the freestyle.
At the 2003 FEI Dressage World Cup Final they placed second behind Rusty and Ulla Salzgeber, but when Rusty tested for a higher-than-threshold level of testosterone, Brentina and McDonald became the first American team to win the title.
The rise in popularity of dressage freestyles prompted discussion about how to best judge the freestyle. Between Rounds columns frequently asked how to make judging fair, how to maintain amateur interest and debated the best ways to promote the relatively young sport in the United States.
The FEI began classifying different drugs as either legal or illegal with threshold amounts for each substance. The USEF also took measures to discourage drugs, as John Strassburger noted in a commentary on Jan. 28, 2005:
In 2009, the FEI changed its classification of some drugs and allowed therapeutic medications at competitions. Despite the rule changes, the debate over various drugs and their use at competitions continues to this day.
Helmet debates raged during the first decade of the new millennium. As of Dec. 1, 2001, juniors were required to wear ASTM/SEI-certified helmets in hunter, jumper and hunt seat equitation classes. The Chronicle even provided a certified helmet guide for junior riders.

Providenciales, Turks and Caicos is a pretty laid back, chill atmosphere. So when we were on the hunt for a few activities to do on the island, one of the highly recommended ones was beach horseback riding with Provo Ponies. So we embarked on a half-day ride with Provo Ponies leading the way.
