🏇 Alberta-bred and built to keep going.

Great to see CTHS Alberta sale grad, Avella, bred right here in Alberta by C. W. Matier, continuing to shine beyond the racetrack! From her Thoroughbred roots to competing at the Twirl N Whirl Spring Fling, she’s a great example of the versatility and durability of Alberta-breds.

Wishing Sherri Goldsbury and Avella continued success—proof that Alberta-breds can excel in any arena. 💪

Thank you to The Western Thoroughbred for the spotlight on this Alberta partnership!
