Ottawa, ON --- —Equine Canada’s Recreation Division and the provincial equestrian federations would like to remind everyone that Horse Week 2008, which is taking place May 30–June 8, is fast approaching!

Also, over 200 participants will also take part in the Hoof & Woof Ride-A-Thon, organized by Pacific Riding for Developing Abilities, which will be hosted at Campbell Valley Park, in Langley, BC.
