Spring Riding Horse Sale - closed April 26, 2021

Congratulations to the Alberta Chapter on a successful Spring Riding Horse Auction held April 26, 2021. Check out their web site for the results: Spring Riding Horse Sale

2021 February 24 - A beacon has gone out far too early and far too quickly. Charmaine passed away today after a relapse of cancer that had attacked her spine. Always positive, she had led the CWHBA through a difficult recovery at the same time as she herself was recovering from an earlier cancer. Her welcoming attitude and constant dedication to the association was a beacon that drew new people into the fold. She was an avid and charming conversationalist who's knowledge and broad life experience made her comfortable in every setting.  Her interest in people was genuine. 

Charmaine's career with the CWHBA spanned more than 20 years and included service as President of the Saskatchewan Chapter, National Secretary and Treasurer and finally National Chair. She was also a senior inspector and qualified International Young Breeders judge as well as an accomplished dressage rider, breeder and stallion owner. 

Our thoughts and deepest condolences go out to her husband John, her brother Kirk, and her close circle of friends.  RIP ...

Heather Smith: It is with great saddnes that I share the sudden passing, on January 23, 2021, of Debra Lynn Symes, from Thelma and Louise Sport Horses. Long time member of the Canadian Warmblood and Hanoverian horse communities as a breeder of quality horses.

Deb was the founding spirit that was Thelma (Deb) and Louise (Heather Smith) Sport Horses. Her zest for life was second to none. Her ability to ride and reason with a reluctant horse was envied by many and her generosity with her knowledge and skills made her the pillar of Heather and Deb's breeding program. Horses bred by Thelma & Louise were sold across Canada and the United States and they participated in many Fall Classic Breeder's Sales.

Deb leaves to mourn her supportive husband of 30 years, Keith Robertson of Pincher Creek and her Partner and Best Friend, Heather Smith of Taber, AB.

2021 January 31 - The Board of the CWHBA has, with regret, accepted the resignation of Charmaine as Chair due to health issues. In her place Janice Tyndall National Director from B.C. has been appointed to serve out the two year term. Read more here.

Founding Director, Eve Mainwaring turned 95 in February, 2020. Read about her remarkable story, from pre war Estonia to Canada and the Big Ben partnership with Ian Millar, in the March edition.  Download your complimentary copy here.
