Well, we have an Ontario association, but like most not-for-profit associations, we are near broke most of the time. Paying $1130 plus GST for a booth is fine if you are selling and making money, just not practical for a not-for-profit association.
Can-Am cost us $600 including electric and demo time in a ring.
It is risky starting a new show, but pricing yourself out of the market doesn't help.

Hi Brenda, yes the OEF will be exhibiting at the Outdoor Equine Expo. I do agree that it is a costly show. Not to mention that investing in a new show can be risky. I will be sure to let you know how it goes.

I agree with Brenda, way too expensive. We breed New Forest Ponies and do not have a Canadian or Ontario Association and would have liked to show our ponies but could not possibly do so at those prices.

Is the OEF taking part in the Outdoor Equine Expo?
For our breed association it is MUCH too expensive. $800 for a booth, $200 for a stall, $130 for electric hookup and that doesn't even include any time in a ring for demos. For what amounts to 2 days, it doesn't open until 2 pm on Friday, and Monday is just for the racing industry.

Every year, the Ontario Equestrian Federation (OEF) is proud to offer a minimum of five bursaries of $1,000 to junior members to help them achieve their equestrian goals. The recipients are awarded the bursaries based on their current involvement with horses and their future goals, as well as letters of recommendation from their respective coaches. Family resources and academic achievements are also considered. The bursaries can be used towards riding lessons, clinics, competition fees, continuing education, or other activities that will assist the recipients in reaching their equestrian objectives for 2010. The OEF Youth Committee would like to commend all of the bursary applicants on their exceptional applications and announce that thirteen bursaries were awarded.

The OEF Youth Bursary Committee would like to extend their extreme gratitude to J'Equine Sport Inc. for their kind donation of a full $1,000 bursary.
