2/ MAY 2012 THE RIDER


endar! The place to be is Elgin Park in Uxbridge when The Uxbridge Horsemen’s Association pre- sents the 8th Annual Everything Equine Expo and Trade Show. This year’s Main Ring headliner will be “Bulls & Barrels” – a live Rodeo event featuring bull riding, barrel racing, precision rid- ing with the Canadian Cowgirls, Rodeo Clowns, cowboys, cowgirls and much more!


Each year is a new experience at the show. There is always something for everyone – not just the horsey set. Each year there are approximately 80+ Vendors both indoors and out. The Every- thing Equine Trade Show brings together never- ending shopping, great food, breed representation and experts in the various equine disciplines – Western, English, Dressage, Reining, Natural Horsemanship and Trail.


For the kids Breyer Horses will be back this year with “Paint Your Pony” for the kids, spon- sored by the Uxbridge Horsemen’s Association and All About Equine tack shop in Uxbridge. Pony rides will also be available during the day to round out the experience!


Everything Equine Expo & Trade Show 2012 Mark Saturday, June 16, 2012 on your cal-


shops and Clinics for those interested in learning more about gaining confidence in their relation- ship with horses.


So what is Natural Horsemanship? Get your questions answered at Everything Equine! DJ Murtagh will be re-joining the show to help explain the importance of establishing clear communication through your horses feet to con- nect with the mind. Essentially horses establish leadership by directing movement through the feet. Being able to influence all four quarters of your horse is essential for a solid foundation. Local Horsewoman Lindsey Forkun ’s diverse experience includes working with people with all sorts of backgrounds-from beginners to advanced riders, from hunters/jumpers to gaited breeds to western/pleasure riders, from kids to adults. She will be working with mustangs and she will be highlighting how natural horseman- ship can help all disciplines of riding, especially western, dressage and jumping.
