Featuring a wide range of activities held across the country, including trail rides, equine  showcases, charity events, RCMP musical rides and competitions of all kinds, Horse Week has been growing steadily since  its inception in 2002.  Horse lovers from all over the country have been registering up a storm on the EC website—from British Columbia to Prince  Edward Island—great events have been created and registered, including two events, an endurance ride on the first weekend  of Horse Week and a competitive trail ride on the second weekend, at the beautiful Birds Hill Provincial Park in Manitoba.  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.
