Eagleview Equestrian Centre played host to equine fun during the weekend for its annual Horsin’ Around in the Cariboo showcase.

The event took place May 14-15 featuring a cowboy trail challenge, open barrel racing, a hoof ‘n’ woof, jumping and dressage demos and a men’s barrel race.

Trade booths were also setup at the venue.

Lori Rankin, manager of Eagleview Equestrian Centre, said the barrel horse showcase was extremely well attended with 84 open riders each day plus 14 juniors, 14 seniors and six peewees.

There were also seven futurity horses and seven derby horses, total.

Winners of the average of both the indoor and the outdoor runs were as follows:

• Open: Ashley Zappone (Quesnel)

• Junior: Amy Hume (Williams Lake)

• Senior: Linda Langston (Bridge Lake)

• Peewee: Kira Stowell (Quesnel)

• Futurity: Sarah Gerard (Savona)

• Derby: Karen Kraus (Pritchard)

Hoof ‘n’ woof champions were Karen Yaworski on Squirt (horse) and Lesley Allgrove with Cash (dog) with a very fast run.

The cowboy trail challenge was won by Linda Langston on Peponita.
