Calling All Cairns “Toto” Casting Call
Adorable, amazing, perky and perfect!
Just some of the things people say whenever they think about us. We are cute little guys, aren’t we - the perfect pooch in every sense of the word!
Well, there’s something coming up in Lexington, Kentucky that’s going to have even more folks talking and clamoring to watch us strut our stuff – it’s the Central Kentucky Riding for Hope “Toto Casing Call” contest taking place on Sunday, May 20th at 11:45 am at the beautiful Kentucky Horse Park.
Central Kentucky Riding for Hope is a wonderful non-profit organization that provides horseback riding for therapeutic purposes and social and recreational activities. They’re located right there at the Kentucky Horse Park. They help all sorts of individuals of all ages with a wide range of disabilities to develop self-esteem, confidence, coordination and a sense of achievement while learning horsemanship, tack and riding principles. Their volunteers are very dedicated and the horses in the program are sweet as sugar - so gentle with everyone.

Night of the Stars 2007
Each summer CKRH puts on an elaborate event called The Night of the Stars Benefit Auction to help raise funds to keep the program going. It will take place on Saturday, June 16 at the beautiful Keene Barn at historic Keeneland Race Course in Lexington. This year’s theme is The Wizard of Oz. There will be a marvelous live and silent auction, elegant dinner and lots of fun festivities, including a live auction for annual sponsorship of our costumed horses and riders. Too cute for words!
Well, you can’t have a Wizard of Oz event without “Toto.” Doesn’t matter how adorable those horses look dressed up in costumes, they simply can’t pull off an impersonation of Dorothy’s precious little pooch. They need the real thing!
That’s where we come into the picture. They’re having a casting call the month before, searching for the perfect “Toto” to preside over the festivities in June. Naturally, we Cairns are exactly what they need, but other doggies are invited to participate – we must be fair: Norwich terriers or any other scruffy little canine. The judging criteria will include: looks and personality, the ability to be held in a stranger’s arms without going bananas, and presentation – how we best portray the theme of The Wizard of Oz with our owner (dressing up in costume or being in character – doesn’t have to be fancy or involved – just something to show you know something about the story/movie). There’s no fee to enter. Every pooch will get a blue ribbon and certificate of participation. The winning canine will get all sorts of prizes – huge gift basket full of doggie and Oz goodies, a glorious trophy, and the royal treatment at the big event in June. His/her master will also receive lots of surprises, plus they’ll be VIP guests at the Night of the Stars.
More news to follow, but this should be a good start for all you adorable doggies to start practicing your walk and perfecting your smile to wow the crowds on May 20th. This will take place during the exciting 41st running of the High Hope Steeplechase, an event rich in tradition, with beautiful horses, talented jockeys, five national Steeplechase Association-sanctioned races and two flat races, great food, tailgating, children’s activities, shopping and more. We’ll be on the schedule just before the hysterical and fast-paced Jack Russell terrier races. High Hope Steeplechase is a volunteer-based event benefiting the Maker’s Mark Secretariat Center, a Thoroughbred retirement facility.
Everyone at CKRH extends a heartfelt thanks to our friends at the High Hope Steeplechase. Their generous spirit in allowing us to hold our “Toto Casting Call” during their festivities is definitely the cat’s meow. (no worry – no kitty cats will be on the premises). A special thank you to their director, Elizabeth Collier, who has made us feel so welcome and right at home.
