HorseCapades

A delightful and FREE introduction to horses, the CNE’s interactive horse program CNE HorseCapades is returned again this year and took place during August 3 to August 17 (with the exception of August 5th) from 11:00am to 2:00pm. Designed for the young and the young at heart, HorseCapades swept you away from city life and into the magical world of the horse. Giddy up!

The HorseCapades program once again featured the sensational Trick Riding Show: HorsePower Live. Two shows were held daily in the CNE Horse Palace at 11:30am and 1:00pm.

Plus:

  • Discover how a horse thinks, acts, and reacts
  • Pet a horse
  • Pony Rides
  • Guess a horse’s weight
  • Meet horse friends

During the fair, elements of the HorseCapades program were moved from the Horse Palace to the Farm in the Better Living Centre’s West Side.

Please Note:

  • Pony Rides – A camp staff, parent or guardian must be available to assist their children to mount/dismount the ponies and remain within the pony enclosure during the riding time.
  • This same safety rule will apply to the mechanical horse simulators as well.
  • Day camps, daycares, etc. must ensure proper supervision of all their children in all activity areas while visiting HorseCapades
  • During weekdays there was be a CNE train waiting by the Fountain to drive participants to HorseCapades
