of potential and we can’t wait to see what

Congratulations to Jessie Taylor on her new

purchased this big beautiful 5 year old from
Ontario. The junior horse class is going to have
some tough competition this year!
After taking this guy for a test run last year in
Truro and getting along with him like an old
pro, it had to be made official. Emma Taylor is
the proud new owner of Takin A Chance!
Congrats Emma!

We can’t wait to see you two at the jackpots
this year! Congratulations Kate.
