03.04.06 Brock Equestrian Needs Horses for a show March 8th!
Brock Equestrian is hosting their second Ontario Universities Equestrian Association show on Sunday March 8 (that't this sunday!) this year. We are looking for horses that can jump up to a 3' course and as low as 18" as well as horses for the flat divisions. Riding abilities range from open to beginner and we try to match the horse's abilities with the rider's. Our show is being held at Golden Gate Equestrian.

We've run into some problems fleshing out our horse list, and would greatly greatly appreciate ANY help with finding awesome horses for our riders to show. It's especially great if you have a horse that's for sale and you want to get people from all over the province to be able to see your crafty horse. These shows are a great experience for younger horses that would provide an adequate challenge for the right rider!

If you, or anyone you know, would be willing to donate their horse for the day please email: brockequestrian@hotmail.com
