As a bonus, all who attended the AGM and Awards night were entered into a draw for a free entry to one of the 2017 HTBC events. Four of our riders were drawn. Lindsay Whitehead,  Mia Poppleton, Emmy Gehring and Kendall Smith!  Congratulations to Kendall on a great year and lots of recognition!

Thank you to Leahona Rowland who spoke about working overseas, and the pros and cons of working student positions over there, and her experience working with many top eventers.

Also, that is the biggest fundraiser of the year for the Young Riders program. The Silent Auctions brought in  over $11,500.00 in donations! Highest yet - thank you so much to all the people and businesses who donated! I guess the only other thing is that Sara and TJ have volunteered to serve on the Horse Trials Board of Directors - taking an official role in shaping the great sport of Eventing in BC.
