F.A.Qs
Question: Why aren't these events open to the public?
- Mainly because of insurance costs and liability reasons. If we invite the public we’d have to buy public event insurance, near impossible for this kind of event, (and if found extremely expensive). It also cuts down on other expenses and, to be blunt, the amount of work and hassle.
Question: What if we’re bringing horses up from the states?
- If you’re shipping in from the states you need to phone your vet and arrange to have the
paperwork done for “Temporary Export”. This will probably include a coggins test, health
papers, and getting everything signed by the federal vet in your state, find out the details now
by phoning your regular vet and plan to get the ball rolling about a month prior to the event.
Note: Outbreaks of various equine diseases occasionally prevent horses from being admitted
into Canada if they are from, or travel though, outbreak areas. If you are crossing at
Detroit/Windsor please call (519) 969-2522 or at Niagara Falls/Ft Erie (905) 262-0370
for updates on any outbreaks which may affect you.
Question: What’s on the menu for the BBQ? (only available at some events)
- The main staple is beef or pork with some chicken done over the coals to perfection by
Dennis, and various salads, chips and dip. If you’re a vegetarian please let us know
beforehand where you draw the line and we will try and accommodate. Ditto if you have
bad food allergies.
Question: What do we do for other meals?
- It depends, how good are you at camp cooking? Feel free to bring a camp stove and anything you might need to cook your meals, there is also a campfire in the camping area. There are also many restaurants, fast food joints and grocery stores within a 10 min drive of the farm.
Remember to Pack:
• Mosquito repellent for both horse and humans!
• Sunscreen, no point starting off the season with a bad burn!
• Camp/lawn chairs, this is a BYOC event, also I suggest you mark or tape your names on them so they are easily identifiable as yours.
• Never know what Mother Nature’s going to throw at us so bring a warm jacket for nights, a rain jacket just-in-case, and pamper your feet by bringing extra socks.
• Flashlights if your camping and extra batteries for your camera
