- This was a rain-or-shine event. Tickets were non-refundable.
Clydesdale Classic
Watch the majestic Clydesdales in the main arena, daily, as they compete in halter and hitch classes. A crowd favourite is always the Six Horse Hitch, where six horses work as a team to pull the beautiful wagons. Be sure to find a seat in the grandstand to watch this class. Don’t leave without taking a walk through the barns to get an up close look at these Gentle Giants.
Machinery
Demonstrations
Get up close to the tractors, plows, threshers, and other farm equipment that worked our province’s soil decades ago.
There are equipment demonstrations throughout the day with feature demonstrations at 11:00 am and 4:00 pm. Experts will show you how everything works and how everything sounds.
Working Horses
The working horses are at it all day long.
From hauling sheaves for the threshing contest (just after the parade) to plowing the demonstration field (morning and late afternoon), these beauties are well worth watching.
Take a ride through the Pioneer Village on a horse-drawn wagon. Rides leave from the train station 10:30 AM to 11:30 AM and then again after the threshing contest until 5:00 PM.
Colt Raffle
The colt (named “Tucker”) will be raffled off at the 2023 Reunion. Proceeds from this raffle go toward supporting facilities for the working horses at the Museum.
Tickets are 3 for $5 and 6 for $10. They are available at the Info Booth during Reunion. Tucker will be nearby all day long so you can have a chat with him. The lucky winner will be picked Sunday night at 6 PM, July 30, 2023.
Tucker was donated by Linwood Equine Ranch, Carberry. Vet services were provided by Dr. Cathy Patterson.
