Pedigree Reader -
Elaine Partington
We are pleased
to welcome Elaine Partington as our pedigree reader for
our 10th Fall Classic Breeders Sale. Elaine currently
owns and operates Ebon Stables, a boarding, training,
and Warmblood breeding facility. She also runs six shows

class show facility.
As a junior she earned her Pony Club A Level and won the
O'Keef Jumper trophy. She has continued her winning ways
at most major western Canadian shows. In her training
career, she has selected and developed many good-selling
horses; including developing and selling a three-day horse
that competed for the Japanese Team at the Montreal Olympics.
Elaine is now a Level 3 Coach in Hunter, Jumper, and Equitation.
She coaches many good juniors, including Canadian Olympic
Dressage Team member, Gina Smith. Her expertise has her
teaching clinics all over North America. Her input will
be invaluable to us all and we are thrilled to have her
on the team!
Announcer
- Steve Dalgleish
We
welcome Steve Dalgleish back to the Fall Classic Breeders'
Sale. Steve says the show and sale have introduced him
to many wonderful people and beautiful Warmblood horses,
and he is proud to say each and every year he learns a
little more.
Steve has always been interested in horses and in announcing.
With each year his resume grows, including horse shows
(Westerner Spring Show, Didsbury Light Horse, Olds/District
Light Horse, Cochrane Horse show, and more...), cattle
shows and many rodeos. Steve's accomplishments in pursuit
of his goals as a Professional Show Announcer have been
significant, with 2003 marking his debut as Special Features
Announcer in the International Ring, plus many shows at
the back rings and Meadows on the Green at Spruce Meadows.
Steve honors and credits his close friend and mentor,
Bill Kehler, who has taught him well.
Steve hopes all, buyers and sellers, enjoy the Tenth Anniversary
Fall Classic Breeders' Sale. We are pleased to have him
join us again this year and we are sure he will add to
your enjoyment of the Sale.
