Sponsor 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.
