The 2009 Maryland Pony Breeders Yearling Futurity was held on Sunday July 19th at the Harford County Equestrian Center, Bel Air, Maryland. Diana Cappellanti of Ashland, Virginia judged the Futurity. It was a beautiful day with great attendance. Ms. Cappellanti had some tough choices to make, but in the end, Wayne and Myra Spencer’s lovely gray Crossbred gelding, Invitational Royal Oak was named Grand Champion with John and Margaret Almond's beautiful gray Section B Welsh filly, Loafers Lodge Eight Belles named Reserve Champion.
The Grand Champion pony was presented with a monogrammed cooler, graciously donated by The Grey Pony Saddlery, and a bag of delicious Capstone’s horse treats (generously donated by Ms. Cappellanti). The winners of each division received leather leads (donated by Just For Ponies) with brass plates (donated by Tammie Monaco).
Each participating pony was presented with a Maryland Pony Breeders drawstring sack filled with goodies donated by Loveville Leather, Southern States Cooperative and an anonymous member of the MPB Board of Directors!
