Winning the 2018 Canadian National Super Horse title for 2018 was Show Daddy, shown  and owned by Deserie Reiu. This incredible sorrel gelding by VS Code Blue and out of the great  mare Show Diva racked up the High Point Sr Horse award as well as  a championship in Novice Amateur Hormanship with Dana Reiu and the Reserve National Championship titles in Sr Western Pleasure and Sr Western Riding. Show Daddy also earned high placings in the Trail and HUS classes to win the award and prove his versatility. “Benny” as he is known in the barn is owned by trainer Deserie,  but is really a family horse as her sister Dana also competes on him for now until Deserie’s niece (Dana’s daughter) Olivia grows up and is ready to take the reins.
