Even though all of the horses sold and showing from Affluent Farms have become “stars”, Rigaletto (aka Highlander) will always remain the “first star”. He won the 2003 Lieutenant Governor General Cup class at the Royal Agricultural Winter Fair under Sue Fish (Roy and Sue Fish of Twinholm Stable trained him) just nine years after Affluent Farms began raising and selling Canadian Sport Horses. This photo is of “Riggs” being shown by his owner Lisa Swant Torkos. He looks so much like his R.C.M.P. dam, Bonny rather than Reipo, the Swedish Warmblood that was his sire. Still going strong, he will be 20 this year, in 2020.
