Élène Sergerie Award @ the CNHE

Re-Posted from Canadianhorse Yahoo Group:

Hi Everyone:

I am pleased to announce that we have added another award to Canada's National Horse Exhibition:

This one is a special one : It is called the "Élène Sergerie" award. Jody, who came up with the idea, emailed me to see what we could do. The wheels went into motion...

The first year the CNHE and the Canadian Horse Link (Jody Turvey) will be sponsoring this award. The trophy will be signed by none other than our "Élène Sergerie" and she has promised to do her best to make the presentation in our 1st year.

It will be awarded to the participant who best embodies the character of our own special fellow member Élène Sergerie - the participant who "keeps trying" "thinks positive and never gives up" or as Gladys put it "a will of iron and an indomitible spirit, like our Canadian Horse".

Each year members will have the chance to sponsor this award. I am sure we will have a waiting list of those wanting to be part of this for many years to come. We are thrilled that Élène has allowed us to do this. It is indeed an honour.
