Congratulations Kelley Willemze and Tagaelen!

Tagaelen has been very successful throughout his conformation career as a youngster culminating in 2003 as a three year old at the prestigious Royal Winter Fair in Toronto, winning the Governor General's Cup and Grand Champion Canadian Sport Horse. Since then he has gone on to win his first horse trials in the pre-training division and is currently competing as an eventer. 'Galen' has the talent to shine in any discipline and when it becomes evident which one he prefers, that will be the direction we take.
