On Nov. 4th the 2007 NA Cup concluded at the Kentucky Horsepark.

As usual, CMGA was well represented with three teams in the Masters Division, and by The Smoking Guns in the Fossils/Forever Young Division.

This years NA Cup was a truly international circuit with teams from Middlesex, Botswana, and now Norway, each having participated in a different leg of the competition.

Sept. 16, 2007 at the Cruikshanks’ property.

I worked this event as the Starter, so action shots from me are scarce (ie. non-existant).
After the event, I spent some time capturing images of the festivities.

The third leg of the North America Cup was held on August 18th-19th once again at the Barrie Raceway in Barrie, Ontario.

The five teams [Quicksilver, the Spartans, the Dragons, the Flying Tigers, and Dennis & The Blondes] enjoyed fantastic weather and good ground conditions, with the EMTs only having to be dispatched twice.

Between team heats there was also an Individuals competition, and yes, Sean took the prize money home.  Again.

While the competition was as serious as ever, the smiles and stories shared in the barn between ground sessions reminded everyone of the quality of the games community.

June 2nd-3rd brought together six teams from Canada, the U.S. and far-off Botswana to compete in the second leg of the 2007 North America Cup in Barrie, Ontario.

For results, you can go to the CMGA site.

However, you came here for photos, not stats!

Check out the highlights from Saturday as well as Sunday.

And, of course, all of the other photos and sets that I have on Flickr by visiting www.flickr.com/photos/chadchabot/.

More to come later.

Held at Windsong Stables, near Pontypool, ON, the annual CMGA Symposium/Demo/Clinic took place on Saturday May 19th.

I have some fun photos from the sidelines, but not many of the actual riding.
You can thank Pa Cruikshanks for that.

But how can you blame anything on that smile?
