Our last Benefit Show was for Hawley Bennett competing at the Athens Olympics

Showjumping is the focus here at Gloucester Downs but equally important is the development of the rider as an understanding partner.

Ethics, exercise physiology, interval training, progressive loading, cross training, and sports psychology are available as you progress through your development.

The complete care of the horse and the use of a yearly training plan will help you to become the best you can be as a team.

Schooling Show - Saturday October 28th, 2006

The Horse Show will start at 8 AM, everything from the simplest walk - trot and lead line classes, to Hunter over fences and fun and speedy Jumper Classes will test the skill of local equestrians. There are super prizes for all the classes. All proceeds from entries will go directly to the education of youngsters in Kenya. This is the project of the students at Langley Fine Arts School, spearheaded by an ardent equestrian Ashley Parker who is in her grade 12 year at the school.

There will be a super used tack sale, you can consign your items between 5-9 the night before, 25% of the proceeds going directly to the education fund. There will be tickets for a 50/50 draw, 10 tickets for $5, with 50% of the proceeds going to the education fund and 50% to the winner, drawn at 3 PM. There will great food to be purchased, with all funds going to the education of Kenyan children. Pony rides and face painting for the children will make this a great family fun day as a lead up to Halloween.

The students and teachers of Langley Fine Arts School will help to make this a memorable event. Donations will be accepted gladly and the Show Committee encourages businesses to dollar match a specific class.
