Location: London Ontario | Good luck to all those running and showing! The MIL is in some of the Hunter Under Saddle classes and then we have some friends in just about all the classes later. We are headed down the 17th for the weekend! We go every year to either show if we have something good enough or at the very least spend all our money. Its something we look forward to every year |

Location: London Ontario | Well how long are you going for? If you are going for more then one day spend the first day just looking around at where the best deals are. Then on your second day when you've had a chance to take everything in, you are able to choose the best places to buy. Some say that the last weekend is the best weekend to shop cause there are better deals as stores don't want to pack it all up, I haven't found that in most cases but I'm sure some of the smaller places will accommodate that to a point. Also bring comfy shoes or boots, or rent a golf cart hahaha, there is lots and lots of walking to do!!! Also make a trip to see the big barns, there are some spectacular set ups from the different farms showing. The Corral or whatever its called is also tons of fun at night(bar there)! Most of all have fun, you will get the bug as soon as you go!! You will find you'll go back year after year.
Oh and also, the grounds/surrounding area can be a little sketchy, so make sure you lock your truck and hide any valuables!!! |

| Does anyone know why they closed the Corral? We use to watch baseball in there while waiting for them to change the dirt out. |

| All I heard was that OHQHA did not run the corral, it was run by someone else so the board voted not to have it. |
