It’s that time of year. The Mounted Games Across Canada (MGAC) is getting ready for another season of fun and games.
MGAC organizers invite all backyard novices and experienced riders to “come out and play on horseback.” There is assistance for those that need it and challenges for those who have good hand-eye coordination. Agility is needed for both horse and rider.
The games are similar, but not identical. to Pony Club’s Prince Philip Games.
Founded in 2005, MGAC operates based on the following principles:
– promoting and increasing the awareness of mounted games in Canada;
– promoting safety for all riders;
– encouraging participation for all ages and skill levels;
– keeping costs of participation affordable for all; and
– emphasizing that games are for everyone and any age.
The mounted games will make five stops at the Grand River Raceway in Elora: May 19, June 23, July 21, Aug. 11 and Sept. 22.
