What Compeitors Are Saying...

I had an absolutely wonderful time at the schooling show! What a fun and laid-back way to kick off the Okanagan show season, acclimatize to the burning hot interior sun and get some much-needed help with my maneuvers. I was even sent back to the ranch with specific exercises for homework! I've been inspired and I'm workin' on it...” -Kendra Schultz, Douglas Lake Ranch

"The Armstrong "Reinin in the Sun" Show has a great community feel to it. The fairgrounds are beautiful, super facilities for the horses, the town is great, the committee makes you feel at home and the show is run very professionally. Thank you" - W.V. (Bill) Rempel Vancouver

’ Just a quick note to thank you and all your supporting crew for a great weekend. I wish we could have stayed until the end however the time we spent there was well worth it. Looking forward to an invite back next year. '- Troy & Dora-Marie Naber
