- Reining at Lunch: Instead of just sitting in the stands during your lunch, you will be able to experience some true horse power. Reining began on the working cattle ranches, where cowboys used their horses to gather, move and hold cattle on the open range. Today's reining competitions provide a venue for riders to demonstrate the skills of their highly trained and hard working horses. They are judged on a variety of moves which include: circles, lead changes, spins, sliding stops, rollback and backup.

A Day in the Life of a Settler : In the 19th century, the work performed by children was crucial to the operation of the farm. Once the field work was done, there was still work to be done at home. At this POD, students will gain an understanding of agricultural chores such as butter churning, wool spinning and the laundry board. |
Dairy:
Students will have an opportunity to recognize
milk's role in healthy living by analyzing
essential nutrients found in milk and their
functions in maintaining a healthy body.
They will also learn how milk is processed into dairy and dairy products for consumers and finish with a milking demonstration. |
Country Corral
An array of sheep pigs, and cows all brought
together in one ring is sure to not only
entertain but teach everyone how valuable
animals are in our everyday lives.
From food, to clothing to nutrition, their
importance will be brought to life, like
only Cowboy Fred can do. |
| Eggs & Chickens : At this POD you will not only learn how eggs are graded and produced locally but you will learn the difference between chickens & hens and why they play an important part in your daily routine. |
Little Ray's: His educational presentation is always a hit and this year's promises to be exceptional. Come and learn about the giant lizards from around the world including cousins of the infamous Komodo dragons'. |
| Miniature Horses:
Miniature horses were originally very important in the mining industry used for pulling the coal carts out of the mines; they were perfect for the job due to their size and strength. Today they are a novelty to have just as pets. They are easy to care for and quite willing to do whatever is asked of them and are a joy to have around. At this POD, you will come nose to nose with these amazing horses. |
Canadian Raptor Conservancy The Canadian Raptor Conservancy
