Our facility offers 2 indoor rings and a large outdoor arena which can be split into 2 separate rings, as well as a full kitchen and clean washrooms. Our footings are well maintained sand, except for the main indoor arena which is a rubber/sand mix. Trailer, spectator and RV parking is offered on grass just off the main driveway. Stabling is always available in our guest barn, main barn, or in portable stalls if required. We have a large group of volunteers and sponsors who deserve special mention for their support throughout the year in order to help us offer you the best possible event.
