KR Equestrian Para-Dressage Competition

KR Equestrian is happy to announce our inaugural Para-Dressage Show which will be held on Sunday, August 26th, 2012. We are pleased to offer both an entry as well as a gold division, to be judged by Elaine Potter, EC M level and Para Judge. Our facility is located in Schomberg, in beautiful King Township (approximately 1 hour north of Toronto).

Horses can be made available on a limited basis to riders who may not be able to ship in, and we will also be able to provide some overnight stabling. Although the competition will take place on Sunday the 26th, the facility will be available for riders on Saturday the 25th for practice sessions.

If you think you have riders within your programs who may wish to compete, please let us know so we can start to plan based on numbers.
