The Third Annual Horses and Heroes Horse Sale is being held at the 108 Stables on Kitwanga Drive on July 6.
Organizers Emmy Lou Stoeter and Jennifer Raifteiri-McArdle have made several changes and are really excited about this year's SPCA fundraiser.
"While the horse sale remains the focus, this year we wanted to make it more of an event for everyone to drop by and have a good time," explains Raifteiri-McArdle. Demonstrations, children's activities, face painting, vendors, and pony rides will be going on all morning, with the sale beginning at 1 p.m. Other changes include a concession on site for the day, a silent auction, raffles and draws, she adds.
"The horse sale format itself remains the same – a 'parade to the post' at 1 p.m., so all the horses can be seen. If people want to showcase their horse's individual talents in the arena, we will help them do that as well. This is not an auction and arrangements are solely between the buyers and sellers."
Table rentals are $15 each and the fee for selling a horse is $25 (per horse). There is no limit on how many horses an individual can bring, but no stallions.
Organizers also request all dogs be left at home.
Vendors for any equine-related product or services and sellers are still being accepted. Interested parties can go to the website at www.horsesandheroes2013.com, or contact Emmy Lou Stoeter at 250-791-5446 or Jennifer Raifteiri-McArdle at 250-791-6509.
