Highlights
The
Rider is
one of the WHAO's longest sponsors. Each issue, you will find
information what is happening with the WHAO on a dedicated page.
As a bonus to our members, the Rider offers a free years subscription
to their publication. The last three years, Barry has also shared
his booth space at Can-Am so that the WHAO can sell tickets on
the raffle. It is generous sponsors such as The Rider
that help to keep the WHAO going.
Norfolk
County Fair and Burford Agricultural Society
have been long time sponsors of the WHAO. They are as traditional
to show enthusiasts as turkey for Thanksgiving weekend. The Norfolk
County Fair western show is held on Sunday. The facilities
at the fair include a large sand ring and all the fun you can
handle! There are no standard bred races but there is some heavy
horse activity. Prize money is given out the day of the fair,
so you can stock up on that great fair food! (don't forget to
pick it up)
Burford Fair horse show is the next day and is
usually a very large show. There are two rings and when possible
the show moves along quickly. It also boasts a large show ring.
The show pen is far from the noise of the rides. There is usually
entertainment in the grand stand that exhibitors can enjoy. Join
the WHAO Thanksgiving weekend for the last shows of the season.
Ancaster Fair is always a great show.This year
it will be held at their new facility, so check thier website
for details. Peter Emick and his crew always put on an excellent
show with great prize money. It offers the popular versitility
class, which is an exhibitor favorite. There are no horse races
to spook your horse.
