With weather delays creating a tight timeline, long days and hands-on from Vernon District Riding Club members truly helped bring this project to fruition on a tight timeline. The way members maintained communication to clarify their vision was impressive.
And if you’ve ever been part of a project with multiple moving pieces, you know that the ability to develop contingency plans is key to managing unforeseen circumstances ✔️.

This project was a true collaboration. So many pieces were coordinated and stitched together from members and from the community to make this happen. We appreciate the banner placement ✔️

Thanks Vernon District Riding Club for the new hashtag - ha! - love it!

It was a pleasure working with you all through the education and implementation process. Each arena is so unique in its needs. It’s a great feeling when it all starts getting dialled in.

The Arena FX (Anchor G Bar Equine Footing ) crew hard at once again. We appreciate being the BC leg of this team. Bryan and his crew are taking bookings and planning road trips throughout BC over the coming month. It's a great time to get in on the ground floor of arena dust control before the dead heat of summer arrives.
Looking forward to seeing your name in our inbox!

Let's talk base. It makes or breaks how your arena performs. Deep spots, hard spots, consistent maintenance are all indications of issues beneath. Our horses feel it even though we can't see it. Remember, great footing over a bad base still produces a poor arena.

I was pulled from my field, from my work, from my play,

Ne’er again to see England, in lands far away,

Through death and destruction, through blood sweat and tears,

I carried my master, along with my peers,

So I ask you to remember a while,

Along with the soldiers, in smart rank and file,

Remember our beauty, the strength of our kind,

As we galloped through danger, without care to mind,

For we were the horses thrust into war,

And we gave up our lives for your peace evermore.

The War Horse, 1914 – 1918

We will remember them.

In my younger days, I had the privilege of working for this true gentleman and delivered loads upon loads of cattle all over BC for cuttings Bob supplied.
Learned more than just about horses and cattle from him.
Western Cattle Company days will always be found memories. Our thoughts go with Mary-Lynn, Deb, Donna.

We are deeply saddened by the passing of Bob Zirnhelt, a lifelong cutting competitor and valued member of our association.

He was not only a fierce competitor but also a respected friend and supporter of our sport. His dedication, sportsmanship, and love for the cutting community will leave a lasting mark on all of us.

Our heartfelt condolences go out to his family and loved ones during this difficult time. Rest in peace, Bob — you will be truly missed. 🕊️
