TW Riel named “Horse of the Year” ...
11.17.2009
TW Riel (Capeesh X Chantilly Lace) has been named “Horse of the Year” by the Manitoba Team Penning Association. The announcement was made at the Annual Awards Dinner on 7 November 2009.
TW Riel or “Louie” is the primary mount for well known team penner, Ron Lemay. Louie’s outstanding athletic ability and refusal to be outrun or out manoevered by a cow has put Ron in the money year after year. The award is well deserved and long overdue; Louie has been consistently nominated for the award over the last several years.
TW Jasper (Capeesh X TW Bravo’s Matinee) is Ron’s second penning horse and he will be competing for the title next year. Jasper has also inherited the athletic ability of Capeesh and Roanoak Barlo; a unique blending of well recognized performance bloodlines.
Louie’s sire, Capeesh, switched from reining to team penning in 2003 and was named "Horse of the Year" by the Manitoba Team Penning Association in 2005.
TouchWood’s breeding program currently blends the bloodlines of Bask through Capeesh; Baharr through Roanoak Barlo; and Czort through Botaan and Eldans Wotan.
