Everything Equine On The Border Update
|
|
This was a HUGE success! Sandra and Calypso, along with Karina and Rosie provided two demonstrations for the public. Rosie also was the beacon that attracted everyone to our booth! We provided a lot on education, gained a couple of members, and were the talk of the town. A huge shoutout to Erica, Sandra, Barry, and Anna for all your hard work!

Horse Expo Canada Update
|
This was another HUGE success! We had a very well diversified demo team which was VERY well organized by Melissa. Our team was made up of Linda and Rudi (therapy demo), Louise with Dixie and Lisa (driving), Sandra and Calypso (pattern/obstacle riding), Melissa and Jessica Rabbit (extreme cowboy racing), Jac Rabbit (yearling mule in hand), and Karina with Rosie (in-hand). This really showed the many things our long ear friends can do. We had a question and answer period after as well. On Saturday we filled the bleachers and had many standing to watch. A HUGE thank you to all of our team members, ground crew, and announcer! Videos can be found on our facebook group! Check them out!
