Been into horses for over 27 years. I have three horses. Victor is a 12 year old OTTB and has tons of personality. He is my levels horse. Bailey is a 10 year old Canadian Sport horse and is my 'go to' horse when the kids come to visit for she looks after them so well. Magie is my newest addition, and she is only 4 mo old. She is a Canadian!!! :)
So glad that you enjoyed the Royal and that you have your first Canadian. They are a wonderful breed for sure.
Having worked with the organizing committtee to organize and run the Canadian Horse Show @ Orono for several years, and having also helped to organize the Canadian Horse show held at Saddlewood in Bethany, I can attest to the huge amount of work it takes to launch and maintain a show. The Canadianhorseshow@Orono was always a good show with lots of entries in both line classes and performance. Feed-back to theorganizing group was always positive.
However, there was no one willing to step up to help, and the organizing committee, and after 4 years volunteeer burn-out took its toll and we found it too difficult to keep it going.
Orono is central, has terrific grounds, good trailer access, great facilities. It makes an ideal show venue as many other horse organizations have discovered.
Anyone who wishes to organize a Canadian Horse show would be well advised to consider Orono as a venue. There are many of us in the area who have experience and would be willing to help with contacts and entries.
The Upper Canada Division of the Canadian Horses Breeders association has a show and activities run by Brenda Pantling. They have a show in Orangeville in September.
There are classes at the Mrerrickville fair for Canadian horses.
I'm sure they would welcome volunteers.
Since you are close to Orono, please feel free to contact me, We are always happy to show off our beautiful Canadian Horses.
