New Liskeard Fall Fair



September in New Liskeard Ontario is an exciting time for horse enthusiasts. Whether you are into heavy, light or mini horses, there is something for all at the New Liskeard Fall Fair!


Thursday starts of with the heavy/light horse pull. Friday hosts the line classes, including children's costume, halter and showmanship for both light and heavy horses as well as mounted games and western games in the evening. Saturday includes the western riding, English riding and jumping and then the heavy and light horses on wagons etc!

I was fortunate enough to be hired as the weekend photographer for the horse events and it was definitely a very exciting and educational weekend for myself. I had decided not to show since I had done enough throughout the summer, so as a photographer, I was there with a whole different prospective.

The great part about being the photographer is I was invited to be in the ring with all classes and all judges. That entitled me to some pretty privileged information as a rider! I learned so much from both Judges, (light and heavy) as well as the ring Stewarts and other horse people.

So many beautiful horses, and some amazing and talented riders were captured on photo. If you didn't get your print outs of your photos, they are available as well as CDs with all photos of the class you participated in at the following link: New Liskeard Fall Fair Photos.

As much as I was thankful to be the photographer and enjoyed meeting all the new people, next year, I will be a participant and hope that someone else is there to capture our moments on photo.
