This broodmare, when purchased by Affluent Farms, had already produced six foals for the Royal Canadian Mounted Police and her career ended by producing another seven foals for Vicki and Mark. She was 75% Thoroughbred and 25% Clydesdale so when the R.C.M.P. introduced Warmblood stallions such as Ginsberg, mares like Bonny were sold. Of those foals, three were cherished fillies which formed the broodmare herd to produce more Canadian Sport Horses for Affluent Farms. The colts (Mime by Mattgold), Dilemma (by Diamant), and Rigaletto (2003 Lieutenant Governor Cup class winner by Reipo) were sold but Vicki still owns Dash (by Diamant) to enjoy riding at her leisure.
Bonny’s Offspring
All Bonny’s colts were sold when Vicki and Mark first began breeding Canadian Sport Horses so that they could begin to build up a herd of broodmares. Bonny had produced six foals for the RCMP and seven for Affluent Farms. The colts were: Mime (1997), Dilemma (1998), Rigaletto (2000) and Dash (2004). All but Mime were shown at the Royal Agricultural Winter Fair and all were in the top ten. Rigaletto, (sired by Reipo) placed 3rd in the Governor General’s Cup but won the Lieutenant Governor’s Cup class in 2003 under Sue Fish. Dilemma and Dash, were full brothers sired by Diamant, owned by Charlot Farms of Stratford where Vicki bought her first Canadian Sport Horse named Desirée II.
