Manitoba Horse Council News for September 2019

Updated:

September 11, 2019

Manitoba horse riders have had a busy summer, with many very successful shows put on by their more than 20 member clubs. Manitoba Horse Council’s (MHC) Equestrian Facility in Bird’s Hill Park has been home to many of these shows, and MHC Facility staff have been busy working on upgrades and ring changes, along with some new equipment. The Facility was used for the 1999 Pan American Games, and as a 20-year remembrance on Horse Day on June 1st this year, MHC held a trail ride and wagon ride around the cross-country courses. A scrapbook of photos was put together by MHC member Helen Martin, and Geri Sweet, one of our longest-serving volunteers (and Board member in many positions) gave a colour commentary during the rides.
