Nov 1, 2019 - Feb 28, 2020
A 4 month trial of one evening per week and some Saturday times of open riding will be available to the public. For the 4 month period we are offering a $50 membership, which starts Nov. 1, 2019 and expires on February 28, 2020. We are hoping these times will work for more people. To use these times provided you MUST have an arena membership. These times will be reserved for public riding only. Everyone who purchases a membership will be added to an email or text list to be updated and notified if any changes occur.
There will also be additional afternoons and weekends for open riding as is the case now. If there is a majority interest of the membership dedicating an evening or part of the evening to a certain discipline, it will be planned for accordingly.
For questions or to purchase your membership, call Sharon at 780-853-8595 or stop in at the Farm Office. You can also contact Matt R at 403-892-6520 or e-mail matt.rustemeier@lakelandcollege.ca
