People’s Choice Awards
Help us celebrate the top Alberta Bred from the last 50 years with a Peoples’ Choice award presented at Night of Champions.
Every Tuesday, beginning February 20th, we’ll publish a list of the top ten Alberta breds from the decade based on top earnings on our website and social media.
On Wednesdays an article will be posted highlighting five of these amazing horses. Friday is your deadline to tell us who you feel should be part of the top five from the decade, choosing from the published list or your own submission.
We’ll publish a poll on Tuesday of each week starting on February 27th asking you to vote on the final five submissions and choosing who you feel is the top Alberta bred from the decade.
The final vote will comprise of the five top horses, one from each decade to decide the Peoples' Choice award.
Check the website and our social media feeds.
Join us in celebrating our Fabulous 50 Alberta breds and our current champions at Night of Champions on Friday, May 3rd in the Lancaster Ballroom at the Royal Hotel Edmonton Airport.

*Disclaimer- Horses for each decade were chosen for that decade based on the first year they raced and ranked according to lifetime earnings. It is possible that depending on how they are viewed they may fit into more than one decade. We leave it to the “People” to decide which decade they feel these Alberta bred horses best fit.
