2011 Sale Grad
(UPHILL x WHYNOT G)
Owner: Don & Verna Toney of Lethbridge, AB
Bred by: Bernie & Doreen Kulcsar, Key Warmbloods
This beautiful, very athletic colt was purchased as a future performance horse and breeding stallion. In 2014 he attended the CWHBA stallion licensing where he received mostly 8’s for conformation, movement, and jumping with 9’s for his head and shapely, upright neck. The Toneys are looking forward to Upstart’s third foal crop in 2016. His foals reflect his beautiful type, balance and very correct legs with personalities that are wonderfully attentive and kind. Upstart is very trainable so, with his excellent movement, his future performance career looks promising.
2011 Sale Grad
(LOUGHEED x LIEBLING)
Owner: Shawna Dunn of Calgary, AB
Bred by: Kathy & Tom Laxton
Breeders Tom and Kathy Laxton expected Leilani to be a successful jumper when she was clearing their 4' paddock fences prior to her sale. In 2014, Leilani participated in the $15,000 Jump Alberta Western Canadian Young Horse Championships at the Inaugural Royal West Tournament. In each round, horses were awarded a style score and a jumping score that were combined to produce the placings. After the two rounds of competition an overall champion was declared in each of the three age categories. Sixteen horses competed in the five-year-old category but none could beat sale grad Leilani KT and her rider/owner Shawna Dunn. They placed second and first in the individual classes to earn the overall championship title.
