The traveling equine education exhibit EquiMania has been busy this year traveling all over Ontario and the United States recruiting Equi-maniacs of all ages, keen on learning more about horses and safety.
The display features hands-on demonstrations and games, play activities, information resources and plenty of things to see and do.
The travelling exhibit is put on by Equine Guelph, the horse owners’ and care givers’ Centre at the University of Guelph, offering a unique partnership dedicated to the health and well-being of horses, supported and overseen by equine industry groups. Equimania is sponsored by Kubota, the Ontario Equestrian Federation, SSG Gloves, System Fencing, Pfizer Animal Health, ShurGain and Workplace Safety and Prevention Services.
After being featured at many local fall fairs, EquiMania will bring its hugely popular interactive display to Toronto for the Royal Agricultural Winter Fair to wind up its 2012 tour.
Look for the new displays featuring “Report on Research” videos and a colic prevention exhibit. Back by popular demand is the EquiMania Explorer – an interactive safety activity for kids.
Volunteers are welcome to participate at the Royal. There are opportunities whole barn teams to get involved, perfect for students needing to get their volunteer hours in for education credits.

EquiMania is gearing up a tour schedule for 2013 and is available to come to events.
