Art of the Bridlehorse ~ Become a Sponsor
Thank You to Our Sponsors
Art of the Bridlehorse, held on the third weekend of September at the North Thompson Fall Fairgrounds in Barriere, B.C., runs in conjunction with the BC Agricultural Expo. The BC Ag Expo is an annual event celebrating the dedication and hard work of over 225 4-H youth and their families, promoting the importance of agriculture in British Columbia.
With approximately 40 competitors attending Art of the Bridlehorse—along with their entourages, the talented artisans in our Makers Market, and the dedicated event staff—sponsors of Art of the Bridlehorse gain exposure to the entire BC Ag Expo audience. This provides an incredible opportunity to connect with a broad and engaged community.
Thanks to the generosity of sponsors like you, we strive to make Art of the Bridlehorse accessible, particularly for youth participants. Your contributions, whether financial or in-kind, help us uphold our mission to preserve and promote the intricate craft of developing the fine bridled stock horse while honoring the traditions brought north generations ago. Our goal is to unite the bridle horse community in B.C., creating a space for learning, laughter, sharing, and showcasing the rich history and respectful methods of horsemanship and stockmanship that define Art of the Bridlehorse.
We extend our heartfelt gratitude to our sponsors, whose generosity has been instrumental in supporting our mission and providing meaningful opportunities for the community:
