We were treated to a spectacle last night at MARS Bromont when the Royal Canadian Mounted Police Musical Ride stopped by the park to put on a show for the throngs of gathered spectators. It was a true exhibit of horsemanship and horse power and a real callback to the cavalry roots of our own sport of eventing. If you’re in the area, be sure to stop by for a second Musical Ride performance at 6 p.m. EST! Admission is free for all.

Fit, not fat: experts have their say on what elite sport horses should look like
Sponsor Corner: World Equestrian Brands
Ever wondered what your horse’s back really looks like under the saddle? A visit from a World Equestrian Brands saddle fitter can reveal a world of helpful insight—because knowledge is power, especially when it comes to your horse’s comfort.
You’ll learn:
✅ What kind of back your horse has—long, short, shapely, or flat?
✅ What issues might be interfering with performance—uneven shoulders, tricky withers, or a saddle that just won’t stay put?
✅ What the plan is going forward—what your horse needs now and how to support them as their body changes.
Whether you’re fitting a new saddle or checking the fit of your current one, it all starts with a proper evaluation.
