The large riding arena is now officially open! Please be very gentle with the footing. It still needs a lot more rain and time to settle in. Keep to regular flat work, walk, trot, canter. Absolutely no speed, sudden stops, lunging, tiny circles or anything else that digs in through the sand layer. We will have to monitor it closely and if we start to see any damage, we will have to close it again and we would hate to do that.
You can also access the Mountain Trail area again now. It needs some attention but several of the obstacles are good to use.
The track is closed and is going to need a bunch of work to tame the blackberries after 2 years of freedom.

All the rings and Campbell Downs field are now closed for the weekend for our annual Campbell Valley Horse Trials. On Saturday, the Shaggy Mane Trail going up the hill along the field will be closed for the Cross Country phase of the competition. You can still ride all the way around the park by taking the bypass trail in the trees for that section.
Come and see what it is all about. Spectators are welcome and the Bread and Cheese food truck will be on hand if you get hungry.

The WestCoast Working Equitation team will be setting up the small ring tomorrow (Thursday). It will be harrowed in the morning and then closed for the weekend for their show.

The Shaggy Mane Trail will remain open but please keep away from the horses being judged.

We need some help repairing wood fences and jumps. Are there any people out there with basic carpentry skills that could help? Maybe someone who is retired or semi-retired? No set schedule so it can fit in with your available time. We are a non-profit society but we can pay something for your time just not the full going rate that a business would charge.
If you can help, please contact [email protected]. Thanks!

Today is Driving Games Day in the east side of the Campbell Downs field. Expect to see horses and ponies and various types of horse drawn carts and carriages. Great day for it!

The Jellybean AutoCrafters Canada d’EH Celebration & Car Show will be held at the Langley Speedway on July 1st. It features hundreds of classic cars, hot rods, live music, food trucks, and family activities. Spectator parking will be at the Rowlatt Farm field off 8th and 204th but riders should expect more traffic on 208th as well that day. Also, the Shaggy Mane trail crosses near the Speedway entrance and at the Rowlatt Heritage Field so be extra cautious there if riding the trail that day. There will be park staff and folks from Jellybean helping to direct people and traffic at both locations.
Maybe this would be a good day to check out a different kind of horsepower? 😀
