We are doing something pretty exciting on Saturday, April 11th from 10:00am-4:00pm, an Equine Market in Metchosin. Our friends at the farmers market have graciously given us use of their facilities to host our own market for equine services and products. Want to be a vendor? Registration is open and available at https://forms.gle/M7DLUEXvJZFwv8sK8 or click on the link ”Vendor registration” link on the attached poster. What vendors are we looking for… makers of equestrian products like: tack, clothing (any disciplinary), feed or supplements, facilities, equine photographers, coaches, equine groups or clubs looking for publicity/enrolment/volunteers, hay sales, arena equipment, equine themed goods (pottery with horse hair raku would be amazing 🤩), you get the gist now hopefully… We have plenty of room for our vendors and a perfect site to host a market. This market will not include any used tack selling; we will be having a used tack sale on May 2nd… stay tuned for updates and registration for this in the upcoming weeks. The MES executive is looking forward to hosting. We will be open to bringing in a food truck. Any further questions or suggestions are welcome and can be emailed to metchosinequestrian.events@gmail.com Please help support us by saving the date, sharing with friends or colleagues and coming to this event. Let’s come together and celebrate the year of the horse in Metchosin!

New and used tack sale and everything equine! Reserve a table to sell your wares or bring a bag and shop! Concession available and a Door Prize!
