EquiMania! Kicked off 2018 at Can-Am
Guelph, ON April, 25, 2018 - EquiMania! would like to extend a sincere thank you to the organizers, supporters, sponsors, volunteers and the attendees at the Can-Am Equine Expo in Markham, ON. It was the 13th consecu- tive year of participation for EquiMania! at yet another brilliant show! Can-Am is always a must-attend for horse lovers from all disciplines. The April 6 – 8 event offered a multitude of learning opportunities, as well as entertain- ment and shopping for a well-rounded sensational outing. The staff and volunteers manning the education booth and Equimania! fun zone are always impressed by the dedi- cated equestrians coming out to Can-Am to further their equine knowledge.
Auction featured at the Can-Am Saturday Evening Extrav- aganza,” says Gayle Ecker, director of Equine Guelph.

Many thanks to the four talented ladies who do- nated their beautiful pieces of art include: Nola Mc- Connan, Ann Clifford, Kelly Plitz and Shawn Hamilton. Equine Guelph would also like to acknowledge
Heartland star, Amber Marshall for her role in the art auc- tion. Amber provided a gift basket (signed magazines, necklace she wears on Heartland show, horse treats). When a call came out from the crowd to include a selfie, she quickly agreed to add that to the gift pack. The bidding
