The Barriere and District Riding Club hosted a fun event for Family Day Monday, Feb, 19 at the North Thompson Fall Fair Grounds in Barriere.

It was an action-packed gymkhana consisting of three events on horseback with a barrel race, pole bending and a stake race all in the indoor arena. A kids’ stick-horse race was a barrel of laughs following the horseback events.

There were a total of 22 entries for the gymkhana with some riders coming in from as far away as Merritt.

The Barriere and District Riding Club would like to thank the following sponsors for donating so generously to the days events. Big Family Day Thanks goes to: Barriere Country Feeds, Purity Supply, Kamloops Horse Barn, Lammles Western Wear, Agri Supply, Fraser Cattle Company, and Bourdage Funny Farm.
