HACKNEY HALL OF FAME

 
Welcome to the Hackney Hall of Fame.  This section of our web site is dedicated to the greatest horses, ponies, exhibitors, breeders and trainers that have made an impact on the Hackney in Canada

Made You Look

Made You Look, (Adam) was born June 19, 2003, sired by WGC Mark of Excellence and out of a wonderful mare, Heart To Heart.  Adam was co-owned by Joanne Heath and Laurie Palmer.

Adam started showing in 2006, which is the same year that Laurie’s daughter Taylor was born, so with Taylor in her last year of showing Junior it seemed to be quite fitting for Adam to retire from the show ring.  The Heath/Palmer family always thought he was appropriately named as even at home he models when turned out, making sure everyone checks him out.  Fun fact….his barn name is named after Adam Bovaird (he was purchased from Larry Ella as a 2 year old)

Some of his show stats: - 72 classes at the Royal with 27 victories - Taylor won the Junior Exhibitor Driving class for 5 consecutive years, won a further 3 times under direction of Halie Wagner and Josh McCormick - 6 times he won the Junior Exhibitor class in hand – 3 times with Halie and 3 with Taylor – 9 time winner of the Canadian Owned Hackney pony with his first victory going back to 2011. Finished his show career as the 2024 Amateur Hackney Pony Champion and the 2024 Junior Driving Champion.
