If you ride 5 times a week, an hour a time, it’d take you 40 years to get the 10,000 hours.
Three days of Reining and Ranch Classes featuring two full-slates of NRHA, ORHA, and JJ Reining Inc classes.
Over 115 individual horses competed in the different classes, NEW for this show was the Reining Maturity on the Friday (for horses 8+), and the Future Reiners class on the Saturday!
Other favourites included our ever-popular Derby on the Saturday afternoon (for horses 4 – 7), the two Ranch classes, a Ranch Trail class and Working Western Rail class Saturday.
All of this we cannot achieve without our competitors of course – but the show in and of itself would not be possible without our awesome volunteers or our sponsors!
Special thank you to our volunteers: Colie Florica, Jamie, Chris, and Brooklyn Breedon, Brittany and Jack McQuarrie, Karen & Tim McMullin, Lisa McCue, Shelly Colling, Sarah Ricker, Janice Devereaux, Jane Foerter, Abby Lennox, Joan Willms, Jen Skilling, Ashley Janzen, Lisa Graham – for also singing the National Anthem for us!
