The Third Annual Horses and Heroes Horse Sale is rapidly approaching and organizers are excited about this year's event at the 108 Stables on Kitwanga Drive on July 6.
Horses are listed on the website, demonstrations are confirmed, vendors are signing up, and final preparations are underway for the event.
There will be a 50/50 draw, raffles, silent auction, pony rides, children's activities, and a concession will be on site all day, offering breakfast and lunch.
Gates open at 8 a.m. for vendors (including horse sellers) and the grounds are open to the public at 9:30 a.m.
The sale begins at 1 p.m., with a parade of all horses for sale.
If people want more time to showcase their horse individually they can ask for extra time and organizers will set up the arena for them.
This is not an auction, and horses are represented by their owners.
Unlike an auction, it's an opportunity for folks to have a careful look at a prospective horse, think their decision through carefully, and not feel pressured to buy.
Vendors can still rent a table for $15 – any Western-themed service or product is welcome. The cost to register a horse for the sale is $25, with all funds going to the SPCA.
No dogs are allowed.
