2017 Sale Grad
(WHIRLWIND II x FANTAST)
Owner: Courtney Benton
Bred by: MJ Farms, Olds, Alberta
MJ Samba sold as a 3-year-old prospect to Courtney Benton of Olds, Alberta. In the 2019 competition season, Samba didn’t finish outside the top 3 at any eventing competition and she won the 5-year-old Young Prospects Program (and the 4-year-old program in 2018). She is currently showing pre-training and placed 3rd in her first outing at this level with a personal best dressage score. For the provincial leaderboard, she placed second in the Open Entry division and 5th in the Open Pre-Training division with only two outings at that level this year. “Samba is so amazing, I have nothing but good things to say about this horse and I’m so thankful to Mara and Jennette for their dedication to their breeding program to bring horses like Samba into the world.”
2006 Sale Grad
(VDL ULANDO x FANTAST)
Owned by: Shelby Edwards
Bred by: MJ Farms
Adelaide sold as a nicely started 4-year old at the 2006 Fall Classic Breeders Sale. Shelby Edwards competed with Adelaide in Thermal this past winter scoring double clear all week in the 1.30 classes, winning two of them and placing 3rd in the other. She placed 4th in the 1.20 Classic due to an unfortunate rail at the last jump in the jump off, but redeemed herself in the 1.30 modified Grand Prix by winning the class despite thunder and lightning during the jump off!
