As participation numbers continue to rise, the Laird Fairgrounds is preparing for a full slate of shows and clinics for dozens of horse riders and lovers this summer
“The involvement seems to have exploded,” says Allison Wagner, the president of the Algoma Horse Association .
“To my knowledge, that was the biggest turnout in that age group we’ve had in a really long time,” she says. “I think COVID played a role in getting people to come out.” Most recently, several youth riders, including locals Rylin Pearson and Sophia Borden, have qualified for the NBHA World Championships in Georgia this July.
To kick off the riding season, the AHA will host NBHA rider Darlene Jackson, who will provide a clinic for all ages on June 3 and 4 at the Laird Fairgrounds with barrel/pole bending finishing.An NBHA co-sanctioned show will follow on Aug 11-13, which is expected to bring in large crowds of horse lovers from across the province.
