As Island eventers know, the Strathgartney Equestrian Park is a vital part of Horse Trials PEI being able to hold their events. It has the only EC certified cross-country course in PEI, and offers 5 levels for training and competition. It’s located in the beautiful hills of Bonshaw. Island riders of all disciplines are lucky to have the opportunity to take advantage of this beautiful facility throughout the showing and training season.
Horse Trials PEI is not the only club to use the park and it’s open to all clubs and disciplines for anything from shows, to clinics, to just going for a leisurely ride around the grounds. It provides a safe, affordable facility for all equestrians on PEI to have a place to train and compete, from grassroots to high performance.
Age and lack of funding have taken it’s toll on the park the last few years, and it’s time for some renovations. Construction began on the two show rings in the fall of 2017, with the goal being to have them completed in time for the 2018 show season. Horse Trials PEI is holding a “200 Club” fundraiser to help raise money to support this work. Information can be found on the “Fundraiser for Strathgartney Equestrian Park” event page.
