mp" Scugog Citizen -- Tuesday, November 21, 1995 -- 3 - EJG Barb in a class by herself by Heather McCrae For the fourth consecutive year John Leask's giant mare, EJG Barb, was the Grand Champion Belgian at this year's Royal Agricultural Winter Fair. In the history of the Royal, she's the only mare to conquer this feat in the large horse breed. The Seagrave breeder took six of his prized Belgians to the Royal, winning many ribbons in several classes but the one he cherishes most is the red ribbon his grand mare won. "Another prize Leask was proud of winning was the Get of Sire class where three animals are shown all from' the same sire. Léaskdale Ritzie and Leaskdale Barbi Doll, two of Barb's offspring and For the fourth consecutive year, EJG Barb, owned by John Leask of Seagrave has won Grand Champion Begian at the prestigious horse show at the Royal Winter Fair in Toronto. See story for details. ' ¥ Leaskdale Consent are all out of Greentop Centennial. Having already won this class earlier at Lindsay Fair and the CNE, the Royal was the third time. Leask usually shows at 23 fairs a season but this year he cut the number down due to injuries suffered from the hooves of his'beloved horses. Having suffered a broken jaw from a quick kick and having his feet stepped on"by these animals weighing" over 2000 lbs., it's slowed him down a bit. "I want to show Barb three more times before 1 retire her," he told the Citizen at his Seagrave farm= "Out West, at the CNE, and next year's Royal; maybe Lindsay, too," he pondered. Leask has help preparing the horses for the ring. Donnie Lowes of Paris and Steve Gregg of Cargill are the blacksmiths and show the horses for Leask. With the assistance of their wives and Leask's sister, Ruby Dusty of Seagrave, there's always a lot of, horse to groom and braid before entering the ring. Some of the finest Belgians in North America # come to the Royal. It's nice to see an area breeder win over the finest US and Canadian horses.
