Rain showers at the 100 Mile & District Outriders Club Fun & Frolic Horse Show at the Outriders Arena on June 17-18 managed to put a slight damper on the event.

Weather on Saturday was good, but entries for the dressage component were considerably less than expected, leaving a time gap before hunter/jumper classes began.

English and western performance classes on Sunday began under a clear sky, but clouds and rain rolled in by the afternoon, says event spokesperson Nicolle Dupont.

Everyone stayed in good spirits, although the parking lot cleared out pretty darn quickly at the end.”

She notes participants felt the show was a great success and appreciated the hard work of the show committee.

Judge for both days was Joan Miller from Kamloops.

Local equestrian coach Kellie Hoopla donated engraved trophies for each of Sunday's 49 competition classes.
