Each of the 21 divisions of exhibits, including Beef, Dairy, Goats, Sheep, Light horses, Miniature horses, as well as the Heavy horses have been working and planning for exhibitors to showcase their best to the spectators attending the fair.
There are music stages with local entertainment, a grand parade, Miniature Horse Chuck Wagon races, multiple children's events, and 4-H demonstrations. Plus… food cooking competitions, local artisans and breweries.
And that's not all... The IPE is also part of the CPRA tour finals performing in the evening rodeo.
Our light horse director, Kelly Kennedy, has some exciting additions to the 5-day horse show including buckles and coolers made possible with new sponsors for the finalists of the show. Todd Bailey from Ridgetown Ontario is the official Judge for the show. And there is $30,000 added prize money!
Returning is the ever-popular extreme Cowboy Challenge with Trevor Mertes (Horses That Work) with additional classes for the exhibitors to enter. Walk Trot/Jog divisions have also been added to the program. The English Hack division, Western Pleasure Ranch horse, and Driving classes are all part of the exhibits for the light horse show.
The Heavy Horse division has $25,000 added prize money, and the Judge will be Rob Fargo from Kennedy Saskatchewan. The draft horse division will have representation of the large horses including Belgians, Percherons, and Clydesdales. Cart and an assortment of hitch classes will be in the program in Ring #1 during the 5 days. The Log Skid and Heavy Horse Pull will also return for the spectators to cheer on their favourite teams.
