Horse3 Event Chair, Kathy Cleaver says, “Horse3 is my favourite event! It?s the only one of its kind, around here, where we get to truly celebrate our appreciation of our relationships with our horse. I learn so much every year, that I can take back to immediately implement with my own horse. It?s a weekend of really valuable information – but learning it and seeing it in action is so entertaining too!”

New this year to Horse3, Mounted Shooting and Mini-Chuck Racing! Mounted shooting is the fastest growing equestrian sport in North America. It is a fast paced event that combines horsemanship with safe firearms handling and shooting skills. The Manitoba Mounted Shooting Association hosts.

From Sheho Saskatchewan, The Hawreluik Racing Company brings this unique Mini-Chuck Racing Team. The horn blows and the action begins! Just like the big wagons, they make a figure 8 pattern rapidly racing around the arena, completing 2 laps and onto the finish line. The louder the crowd cheers, the faster the ponies run. A fan favourite!
