HAF Allieena+/ Wins Ontario Championship Endurance Race

HAF Allieena+/ (Royal Jalliel x Imperial Nasreena), owned and ridden by Michelle Bignell of Cayuse Creek Ranch, Millbrook, Ontario, Canada, recently won the Ontario Championship 50 mile Endurance Race held on October 3, 2011 at Mansfield, Ontario. “Leena,” as she is affectionately known, took the lead after the first 2 miles and never looked back. Despite a fallen tree which delayed her for 15 minutes until the competition caught up to help move the tree, she finished a full half hour ahead of the second place horse. Leena has completed 39 of her 40 endurance races and has also won the Middle Eastern Ceremonial Saddle at the Pyramid Challenge twice. Also in the top ten at this championship race were the Straight Egyptians Shameen (Safeen x Bint El Shams) and Kharringtonn (Alaa Khaleef x Tsea Bint Deenara).
