EquiMania will be appearing at the Can-Am All Breeds Equine Emporium, in London March 16 to 18.
Its production from Equine Guelph will present a new safety feature that made its debut at the Royal Winter Fair in Toronto to much acclaim.
Equine Guelph launched its interactive safety game there and organizers said it proved to be a passport to fun. The program is sponsored by from Kubota, the Ontario Equestrian Federation, SSG Gloves, System Fencing and Workplace Safety and Prevention Services,
People of all ages were engaged right from the entrance gate, receiving a passport booklet to an adventure through the attraction. Each passport page asked questions and mapped out a route to the next helpful EquiMania ambassador.
Through a game of guided discovery, stamps to the passport were earned. The idea behind the new program is to learn about safety on the farm with fun.
Equine Guelph’s communications and programs officer Susan Raymond said, “Each year, we’ve been enhancing our safety aspect.”
Visitors will explore the display and collect stamps to show they have covered aspects of the safety course.
“It went over really well at the Royal so we’re going to be doing it again at the Can-Am.”
