We have placed some fill and Nutrifor around the east side of Campbell Downs to help fill some holes and condition the soil. It will be rolled and seeded today. PLEASE STAY OFF OF IT. You can get around without going through it. It would be a big area for volunteers to have stake to keep people off. Thanks! It should make for good riding next summer.

**The Equestrian Centre Parking Lot will be completely closed on Monday and Tuesday next week (Oct 6/7). Metro Van will be re-grading the whole Equestrian Centre parking lot.
Please share so that no one heads out there with a trailer.

For those who haven't been to the park lately, here's what the parking lot looks like now. Way more room to back trailers in. Thanks Metro Van! Almost finished. Just touch-ups left to do.

Metro Van is working on the Campbell Valley Equestrian Centre parking lot starting today Sep 8th until the end of September so parking will be limited. They will try to keep about half of it open to trailers at a time.

The sand ring will be closed Friday after 11:00 am for set-up for our final activity of the year, our Dressage Show/Eventing Kindergarten and 2 Phase competition which will run Saturday and Sunday. We expect to be finished and cleared up on Sunday by about 2 pm. The Campbell Downs field will be closed on Sunday for the cross country phase. Please stay on the trail and do not cross the field or come through the gate at the corner of 16th. There will be galloping horses on course. Please use the part of the Shaggy Mane trail that goes through the trees to the top rather than riding alongside the field.
We are also still looking for volunteers to help. No experience necessary for lots of the jobs. Please let us know if you are available to help even for an hour or so. Thanks!

This coming weekend is our big 3 day national Campbell Valley Horse Trials. Preparations are in full swing. The Campbell Downs field is closed to riders now and the sand ring will be closed tomorrow for set-up and through the weekend. The event runs from Friday Aug 8th 8:00 am to Sunday about 3:30 pm.
The Shaggy Mane Trail going alongside the field will be closed but you can still ride around the park by using the section behind the trees instead. The gate at the corner of 208th and 16th will be closed on Saturday for the cross country jumping part of the competition.
Spectators are welcome but will need to park in the lot south of the red barn, across the street from PRDA. We will have the Bread and Cheese food truck onsite. You could also park in one of the other lots in the park and walk in to see the action during your hike.
It's shaping up to be a great weekend!

The last bucket of hog fuel has been removed! That is step one of the ring renovation. Next we need to see if we can find a good deal on concrete building blocks for a retaining wall on the south side of the arena. If anyone has a contact that may be able to help us get a discounted price, it would really help to move this project along to the next step. We can offer them advertising on our website and social media as well as our gratitude.
We also have to continue our fundraising efforts to pay for the new footing. We currently have a Squareboard running. $20 a square and prizes are #1) 4 Weekend passes to the Valley West Stampede worth $360; #2 $100 in gift cards ($50 Esso, $25 each Tim Hortons and Canadian tire) and #3 $50 from Stampede Tack. Please contact [email protected] to pick your number and etransfer.
Thanks! It will be so nice when we have a nice, level sand arena to play in.

Sunday July 13 is Driving Day! Drivers and their horses, big and small, will be on the east side of the Campbell Downs field from about 9:00 to 3:00 pm. This won't affect use of the sand ring or the Shaggy Mane Trail but be prepared for your riding horse to wonder what is going on on the other side of the field.
