10th Annual HorseCapades at the CNE - Free this August!

One of my favourite parts of the Canadian National Exhibition is visiting the animals. The excitement of the CNE stampedes into Toronto early this summer with HorseCapades, an exciting and interactive program that introduces fans of all ages to the wonder of horses.

In its 10th consecutive year, HorseCapades returns to the CNE beginning August 2nd, 2015, at the Horse Palace, Exhibition Place. You and your kids can pet horses, learn about grooming and shoeing, guess a horse’s weight, as well as enjoy a horse-drawn wagon ride. Children can also enjoy a free pony ride!

Make sure to catch the spectacular trick-riding show, HorsePower Live!, debuting on August 2nd. Set to original music, HorsePower Live! showcases the pageantry, power, and precision of riders and horses performing remarkable feats such as barrel racing, trick riding, roping, and hip hop dressage in the Horse Palace Ring.

Complete your visit by stopping by Kids AgVenture, an interactive area consisting of five barn-like tents that allow young children to learn hands-on what it takes to be a farmer. From harvesting grain, to collecting eggs, and milking cows, kids can gather and sell their ‘pretend’ crops at the farmers market in exchange for an AgVenture colouring book. Hannah LOVES going through this process at the CNE.
