Big Win For Mini Horse

29 April, 2026 By Canowindra Phoenix Editor

Canowindra horse Winterfell Hashtag Breaking Dawn has been sashed Supreme Grand Nationals Amateur Minia­ture Horse at the IMHR Grand National Show.

The 2026 Independent Miniature Horse Registry (IMHR) Grand National Show was held from 16 – 19 April, at AELEC in Tam­worth. This premier event features miniature breeds of horses and ponies from all over the country, across a variety of classes.

Canowindra’s Jo-Anne White and daugh­ter Kristy Howard took four miniature horses to the event and competed in a variety of performance classes, carriage driving, trail/obstacle and jumping over the four days.

Overall, all four of their miniature hors­es placed well in classes, but it was their miniature horse Sassy (Winterfell Hashtag Breaking Dawn) who came away with the title of Supreme Grand Nationals Amateur Miniature Horse – one of the highest awards of the entire show. Congratulations!
