EquiMania! is sure to be hopping with fun new activities for Royal Agricultural Winter Fair visitors this November 3 - 12! Equimaniacs can expect to don the ever-popular horse hats while learning all about horses in an interactive way. New this year, is a hopscotch game encouraging kids to Stop, Think and Act, making good choices when it comes to safety around the farm.
While engrossed in the well-travelled, award-winning display, kids and parents will learn more about horses and safety inside the stable and out, around equipment and when handling them.
Do you dream of learning to ride but don’t know how to get started? Here is your Ticket to Ride. This program offers new riders a FREE introductory riding lesson or introduction to horses at participating Ontario Equestrian Horse Facility Partner riding schools.
