The $2500.00 SPORTPONY STAR SEARCH CHALLENGE CUP
For many years, Sportponies have been bred by discriminating
breeders in Ontario and have been shown in all levels of
competition with huge success. Until a few years ago, there was no
recognized registry for this blend of superior equine nor was there
a place for breeders to showcase their breeding stock. With the
introduction of the American Sportpony Registry and the
availability of American Sportpony Registry inspections to Canadian
breeders and owners, the Sportpony has literally ‘taken flight’ in
Canada and most significantly in Eastern Canada. With this in mind,
there has been interest in shows adding Sportpony breeding to its
show class list. These classes have been very well supported and
often the entries have outnumbered the horses showing in other
classes. Morton Stables, an established Sportpony breeding farm in
Ontario, had a vision to showcase the very best of the Sportponies
being produced in Eastern Canada and the US at the prestigious
Toronto Royal Winter Fair. The Royal has long been a very important
International Horse Show. It is reputed to be one of the largest
indoor horse shows in the world, boasting International show
jumping teams and horses qualifying from all over the world. The
Royal was very excited to present the Finals of the Sportpony Star
Search Challenge Cup and scheduled the main coliseum to present
this class. (This being one of the very rare occasions that a line
class was held in the performance ring.) Casitron Ltd. of Canada
became the major sponsor of the Sportpony Star Search Challenge Cup
with the American Sportpony Registry offering an additional cash
prize of $1000.00 if the winner was inspected and registered with
the American Sportpony Registry. Qualifying shows were chosen in
both Canada and the USA to make the qualifying process realistic
for all breeders and exhibitors. Qualifying Sportponies were not
required to be registered at that point but many were inspected
ASPR Sportponies. At the five qualifying shows, judges selected the
winning entries from the following categories: 2 year and under ~

15 qualifiers then went to the
2006 Toronto Royal Winter Fair to compete for the Sportpony Star
Search Challenge Cup. The judge was Sonja Lowenfish, a
respected
professional who is an expert and
teacher in Sportpony judging and a frequently used inspector for
the American Sportpony Registry. The winner of the 2006 Sportpony
Star Search Challenge Cup is the American Sportpony Registry
registered stallion *Rosedale Top Cat. Top Cat, a five-

year-old licensed British Riding Pony, was imported and trained
by Morton Stables. This is not *Rosedale Top Cat’s first big win as
he has been extensively shown in both Canada and the USA where he
has amassed 19 Championships and is undefeated in Sportpony shows
in North America. Reserve Champion of the Sportpony Star Search
Challenge Cup was *Rotherwood Bo Jangles, owned by Diane Jackson.
*Rotherwood Bo Jangles breeder came from England to attend the
Challenge Cup and was thrilled to see the stallion earn reserve
champion. Because of the huge success of the Sportpony Star Search
Challenge Cup in 2006, the American Sportpony Registry looks
forward to sponsoring a similar event in 2007 with the addition of
more qualifying classes on both sides of the Canadian-US border.

Grande x Gwenos Welsh Rose) was the Reserve Junior Grand Champion
Canadian Sport Horse at Toronto's Royal
Winter Fair, November 2006. This handsome yearling gelding is a
delight to be with. Thanks to Angela Morton for handling him this
year." Linda Share writes: Results from the November 7, 2006
inspection at Equivale Farms in DeLeon Springs, Florida: Nova
Etoile (pictured left), scored a first premium premier 8.0, which
is the top 2 % in the country. This fabulous filly was the site
champion as well. Lesley Bonner writes: Pacific Pride Sponge Bob
(pictured right) continues to woo the crowds with his talented
performance and wonderful personality, consistently placing 1st
in his show jumping classes and a respectable 7
th at an Entry Level Event.
Congratulations go to Ellie Schobel and Raison de Joie who won
the huge Materiale class at Devon for 4/5-year-old stallions and
geldings. He won with a 5% margin over Rapture R, a well known
Oldenburg NA breeding stallion. Cathrine Kern reports: Lars and
Sarah Kern (pictured left) were Reserve Champions at the BLM Region
I Championships in Lexington, Virginia. The two competed in the
First Level Junior Division earning a score of 66%. Lars and Sarah
were also awarded the Junior High Score award for the four-day
show. This award was earned with a score of 71.47%. Pictured right

Daktary, a well-known Grand Prix horse of the 1980s and '90s,
was euthanized on Oct. 18 due to the infirmities of old age. She
was 27. Standing 17.3 hands and weighing more than 1,700 pounds,
Daktary, was an impressive mare to behold in the competition ring.
The Hannoverian mare, by Darling, was trained to Grand Prix by
Robert Dover and first competed at that level at age eight with
David DeWispelaere. In 1988, DeWispelaere and Daktary won a Grand
Prix class at Dressage at Devon (Pa.) and in the fall captured the
Col. Bengt Ljundquist Memorial Championship at Grand Prix with the
highest score at that level (64.27%) in the Championships' history,
at that time. Mary Flood, of Wildfire Farm, began riding Daktary in
1989 and competed the mare for the next five years. The two were
top Grand Prix competitors, winning classes at Devon and other
notable shows, and were long-listed for the U.S. Equestrian Team in
the early 1990s. "She was absolutely wonderful to ride. Everybody
noticed her and everybody knew her. She was this big, awesome dark
bay horse with a huge tail; she really had a lot of presence. I was
very lucky to be able to ride her," said Flood. Randy Dauphin,
Marshall, Va., bought the mare in Texas as a 3-year-old when she'd
been newly imported. Dauphin recalled the first time she saw
Daktary. "I felt the ground shaking, and I saw this gigantic mare
trotting toward us in the field. The owner said, 'Oh, you don't
want her, she'll never be any good.' But she was the most
magnificent horse I'd ever seen," said Dauphin. Daktary was from a
family of prominent competitors, with her full brother Dynasty
being Canadian Cindy Ishoy's World Cup and Olympic partner. When
Dauphin bought the mare, she was bred to Adios III and produced
Aries, who became an exceptional broodmare. After being bred to
Waldgott, Aries gave birth to the American Warmblood Registry
registered and licensed stallion Waldaire in 1989. The chestnut
stallion went on to win more than 43 national year-end awards, and,
at age 18, still competes at the Grand Prix level with Ellie Rawle
and stands at Watermark Farm (Pa.). "Daktary was the most
intelligent horse I've ever known in my life. She knew everything;
she was very kind and very brilliant," said Dauphin. Staff
