Today was the final day of the Heavy Horse Show at the 2016 Calgary Stampede.  Brian and Colleen Coleman of Eaglesfield Percherons presented the Mark Messenger Memorial Hitch of Cheyenne, Wyoming.  The Eaglesfield Percheron crew brings the Messenger hitch first place wins in Percheron Team, Percheron Unicorn, Four and Six Horse Hitch, and the World Championship Six Horse Hitch Championship.  This year was Coleman's seventh World Championship win.

We thank the crew for all their efforts, and the Messenger family for entrusting us with their talented and hard working Percherons as the 2016 show season launches in Canada.

Last year, the Calgary Stampede interviewed Brian for their blog as to what it takes to prepare a hitch for competition.  That interview can be read by clicking the working horses below.

Winner, Open Six - 2016 Big Thunder Draft Horse Show

Thank you for all the fabulous well-wishes for our win of the
Open Six of the North American Six-Horse Classic Series competition with the Mark Messenger Memorial Hitch. The 2016 Big Thunder Draft Horse Show was terrific, and we appreciate being chosen as "Fan's Choice" on Friday night.  Onward to compete at the National Western Stock Show in Denver this weekend. We're already missing Big Thunder's heated barn!

If you're in Denver, stop by to visit the horses.
