February 1- 6 Sheraton Hotel Newfoundland, St. John's

Members of the equestrian community are coming from away to beautiful Newfoundland to participate in a selection of meetings and clinics tailored to address the unique needs of participants involved in equestrian sport, recreation and industry. The convention will also play host to the 2012 Equine Canada Awards Gala which consists of an evening of fine dining and entertainment in honour of the successes of 2011. Awards presented include Equine Canada's coveted Equestrian of the Year, Junior Equestrian of the Year, Volunteer of the Year and Equine Canada Media Award to name a few. We want a picture of YOU! A special part of our awards gala is our year in review video. This is a montage of interesting photos of our members from throughout the year. This year, we want to feature Newfoundland equestrians enjoying their horse experience, so if you have a photo of yourself that you'd like included, please send it to ctataryn@equinecanada.ca. Please note that all mounted pictures must have the rider wearing a properly fitted and safety approved helmet. We hope to see you at our upcoming convention, either in person or photo …or both! Please help spread the word by forwarding this message onto other Newfoundland equestrians!
