SSG Gloves Reminds Everyone that Horse Week Begins May 30

May 28, 2008

Ottawa, ON --- Equine Canada’s Recreation Division, the provincial equestrian federations and the 2008 official Horse Week spokesperson, Martha Birkett of Giddy-up For Wishes, would like to remind everyone that Horse Week begins Saturday, May 30.

Nationwide, horse lovers from all walks of the equine industry created and registered events to make for what promises to be an exciting week-long celebration of the horse from May 30–June 8.

The Horse Week Committee encourages horse lovers 18 years of age and under to enter the Horse Week ‘Kids Contest’ for the chance to win great prizes from Miss Filly—www.missfilly.com and from Glove Equine Products—www.gloverequine.com. With three different age groups, and four different categories to choose from, participants are encouraged to get together and let their creative sides shine! Featuring the categories of Poems, Essays, Artwork and Miscellaneous (which can include anything from illustrated stories to sculptures), this is the chance to create something special around the theme of ‘A Horse of Course’. Visit www.equinecanada.ca for contest rules and entry forms. The deadline for entries is June 20, with the winners to be announced June 30.

Visit the Horse Week section of the Equine Canada website for a full list of 2008 Horse Week Events.

Participants across the country are encouraged to bring a camera along to Horse Week events, snap pictures and send to horseweek@equinecanada.ca for inclusion in the Horse Week 2008 Photo Gallery.

Held annually to promote and celebrate Canada’s thriving horse industry, Horse Week appeals to both horse enthusiasts and the public alike. 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.

Equine Canada would like to thank the 2008 Horse Week Platinum sponsors SSG Riding Gloves, the official glove of Equine Canada, and Gold Sponsors Wyeth Animal Heath and Glover Equine Products.
