I Wish I Was There Where you might ask, but if you really knew me you would know that it’s the 2004 World Percheron Congress in Brandon Manatoba. I wanted to go so much but alias I have to work a day job to pay for my horse habit. We so wanted to have Barney compete in the Men’s cart class there because we truly feel that he has the ability to compete with the big guys. I just couldn’t let my boy go, its so far and if something would have happened to him I would have been heart broken. So he’s out in the pasture enjoying the afternoon with his good buddy Doug. No regrets here, we know he’s a “big” horse – but it would have been nice to see him go head to head with the best in the world to see if he is really as good as we think he is. I think that we will get a good indicator of his ability at the Michigan State Fair and the Great Lakes International later this year so till then he’s just our little biscuit.In looking over their website it appears to me that the Manitoba Percheron-Belgian Club really has gone out of their way to put on one heck of a World Congress which makes me even more remorsefull that I can not physically attend. I have visited their web site a numerious amout of times checking out the updates and most recently the results. They sure have their act together to get all that information out there. Kudos to them for a job well done!
I am looking forward to the 2006 Congress which is to be held in Lexington Kentucky at the Kentucky Horse Park which will be great. I have always wanted to visit the park but as of yet have not been able to make the time. I’m going to go to this one come hell or high-water even if it means just as a spectator.
