Are your kids wild about horses?
Take them to the Burnaby Horseman's Association's free open house on Sunday, Aug. 10, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
The annual event takes place at the Burnaby Equestrian Centre, at 9080 Avalon Ave. on the east side of Burnaby Lake.
There will be horse demos, barn tours and pony rides. (The pony-ride lineups start at 10:15 a.m. and 12:45 p.m.)
There will be information on the Burnaby Lake Pony Club, which runs lesson on horsemanship for children as young as six. (There's no need to own a pony to join the club.) There will also be information on lessons run by Unicorn Stables. There's a concession stand, so families can buy lunch onsite, and there will be information available on how to get involved in the parent advisory council for Capitol Hill Elementary. There's also free horse manure for gardeners.
