Horse and Pony Events
We've got horses! They're in the parade and in the show ring, they haul some really heavy weights, race around barrels, and they'll even hang out to offer a ride. Make sure to check the schedule so that you don't miss any of these exciting events.

Ontario Xtreme Cowboy (OXA)
An event that challenges both horse and rider to maneuver through a series of trail & farm-based obstacles demonstrating both horsemanship and speed.
Heavy Horses
Did you know that the teamster's appearance is considered when judging a heavy horse? But pedigree counts most when the Belgians go blaze to blaze to compete for top prize. Also showing are Percheron and Clydesdales. See them in action before a wagon singly, in tandem, three abreast, four and even six! A magnificent sight, indeed.
