Youth ages 3-16 are invited to enter the Horse Day 2015 National Drawing Contest for the chance to win a pair of tickets to a sold-out equestrian event at the TORONTO 2015 Pan Am Games, happening July 10-26 in Toronto, Ont.

 

Everyone who submits an entry to the Horse Day Drawing Contest will be placed into a draw for two tickets to the Pan Am equestrian event of their choice (dressage, eventing, or show jumping).

In addition to the draw for Pan Am tickets, the Horse Day Drawing Contest offers great prizes to the winners in each of the four age categories (3 to 6, 7 to 9, 10 to 12, and 13 to 16).

About Horse Day

Each year, the first Saturday of June is marked as Canada's National Horse Day. Together, Equine Canada and the provincial equestrian associations invite all Canadians to take this unique opportunity honour, discover, and explore the equestrian world. For many Canadians, Horse Day is the chance to get up close and personal with a horse for the first time. Horse Day is also the perfect opportunity to acknowledge the important contributions made by horses in our nation's heritage and how people of all ages and experience levels can continue to enjoy horses in sport and leisure.
