Young Rider Camp Cancelled

YR’s Attention Please:
I am sad to say that we have come to the very difficult decision to cancel Young Rider Camp. A great deal of thought has gone into this decision, and we appreciate your understanding in this matter. Unfortunately, due to the unusually extreme fire conditions in the interior and the hazards that go along with them, we are forced to make this decision. Extreme fire hazards, poor air quality, uncertain road accessibility, and the risk to participants and families, coaches and organizers being affected, are all reasons why we have made this difficult decision to cancel. Every effort has been made to look for an alternative solution, but in the end, we felt that this was the only option. Refunds will be sorted out this week, Jan will reject any etransfers that have not been deposited yet and will be in touch with those that have already paid.
We thank you for your patience and understanding!
Brandy Saunders
Chair, YR Committee

In the Province of BC and especially in the sport of Eventing,we have much to thank David Holmes-Smith and his family for.
David became involved in Equestrian Sport in the 1960’s. His wife Rosemary and David supported theirchildren, Susan and Nick, in their passion for horses. It started with the Okanagan Light Horse show series, they became involved in the Oliver International Horse Show in the Show Jumping and Dressage. This show attracted up to 500 horses each year and was a big effort for a small community.

Do You Drive a Horse Trailer with horses in it??
Are you aware of the Code 20 Heavy Trailer Endorsement required for Class 4 or 5 Licences holders to drive a trailer (and it's contents) that weighs 4600Kg or more...?? This is an ICBC requirement; so the ramifications of being found faulty (ie: over 4600kg) and not having the appropriate licensing could, at best, mean that you are stopped roadside, not travelling any further. Or worst case scenario, you are in an accident and found to be driving without the appropriate licensing and your insurance is invalid.

ARE YOU INTERESTED IN TRAINING YOUR HORSE IN THE MOST HUMANE WAY POSSIBLE, IN WAYS THAT HE CAN UNDERSTAND THE MOST....???
THEN READ ON...!!!
To start, and be very clear, this is not some new "fad training method", or fancy new cult of horse training to follow; this is science based research on how horses learn and is something that everyone who has anything to do with training horses....ie: riders, coaches, parents, vets, farriers etc etc....MUST READ.
Dr. Andrew McLean is an australian vet/event rider/equine behaviourlist, who has done extensive work on studying just how horses learn. The basic premises of his work can be found his website encapsulated into a very neat package of 11 articles/30 pages. I encourage you to print it out, and read it over and over.
www.aebc.com.au , click on Articles, and read down from 1. Pressure Principle
You owe it to your horse to read this material....!!!
