Barrie, ON – Baron won the Seven and Eight-Year-Old Division when the third event in the Canadian Young Horse Jumper Development Series was held June 29 at the Cornerstone Horse Show in Barrie, ON.
A seven-year-old selle francais gelding ridden by Hyde Moffatt of Brantford, ON, Baron was double clear over the 1.35m course set for the Seven and Eight-Year-Old Division by Puerto Rico’s Hector Loyola. Sired by Ulior des Isles and out of a Narcos II dam, Baron was imported by owner Mark Hayes in January of 2006 and finished the season as the Ontario Six-Year-Old Champion.
“Baron is a brave and careful horse, and he’s been jumping a lot of clear rounds,” noted Hayes, who operates Kestral Farms and owns several horses that have proven to be successful in the Canadian Young Horse Jumper Development Series. “The sponsorship is there to support the Series, and I hope that it continues to progress.”
