Armstrong Enderby Riding Club

Our first annual Donna Ruth Memorial Show saw over 40 entrants participating in almost a hundred classes. We had exhibitors from near and far, all ages and disciplines!

The Armstrong Enderby Riding Club and BC Paint Horse Club executives came together to offer a combined show on May 28th. We wanted the show to be memorable, so the brainstorming started for a show name. We all agreed that the Donna Ruth Memorial Show was a perfect fit. Donna Ruth and her mother Barb Dimion have been beloved members of the horse community, enthusiastically supporting and attending horse shows in BC and Alberta. Donna would lend a hand for anyone, anywhere and always with a smile. Donna passed away suddenly in November of 2022.

A huge thank you to the BCPHC, especially Cathy Glover, Barb Hazell, Avery Murray and Anne Marie Gellein for being pivotal in bringing this show to fruition. Thank you to the AERC, especially Lauri

Pettyjohn-Meyers who was representing the AERC and assisting at the gate; Nancy Roman for announcing all day; Dianne McCulloch and Joni Miskovich for being the ring stewards; Barb Dimion and Sherri Golden for whipping us in to the arena and keeping us on time. Thank you to all the sponsors and a big thank you to ALL the exhibitors for supporting the first annual Donna Ruth Memorial Show.

Thank you to the wonderful APHA judge Andrea HokansonGutmann from Alberta!

Working on some exciting ideas for our September date, so stay tuned.
