Another successful year for the ORCHA is now behind us and 2011 is looking even more promising. Talks have been in the works for new ideas such as combining a Cow Horse show with a Cutting show. We are looking into joining the NRCHA and having some sanctioned events. We have also had suggestions for some AQHA Spe- cial Events and are looking forward to 2 or 3 new venues to hold these events.

After traveling far and wide, Equi- Mania! made the last stop of a trail blazing year at the Royal! The Royal Agricultural Winter Fair is well known for hosting anchor events of the horse show season in Canada but also for bringing the country to the city. Over 23,000 eager school kids had the opportunity to learn about safety


and horse sense while navigating their way through the Family Fun Zone in which EquiMania! was a main attraction.


Equine Guelph, Director, Gayle Ecker is “Delight- ed with our new location at the Royal where we can increase awareness of the horse industry and explain viable careers awaiting youth in the industry.” Crowds of children lined the entrance to pick up ever popular horse hats and a special EquiMania! edition of Trot for Kids. Once inside, the mania continued while the masses navigated through an abundance of interactive learning activities. “Shorty Leggs” is the old faithful steed, never waning in popularity. He gathered a number of passengers comparable to that of Santa’s knee. The marvelous new “guts” display attracted many visitors to take a tour through the super long digestive tract of a horse. Not to mention, almost every Equimaniac tried their hand at the gripping new glove safety activities.


Thanks To Our Customers and Friends
