It’s also a chance to celebrate our valley’s rich agricultural heritage. Each year, dozens of volunteers work tirelessly to make the Fair a success. If you see one of them around the fairgrounds, please take a moment to thank them. See you down at the Fair! Taylor Bachrach, Mayor 97 years of the Bulkley Valley Fair!

This year we have last year’s winner and two returning trainers from previous years. The trainers are Severin Pederson from Black Creek, BC, Sarah Newman from Kamloops, BC, and Cory McAllister from Red Deer, Alberta. The three judges Frances Teer, Ben Gumm and Larry Wierenga back from last year. The horses are from a local horse farm “Just Wishin’ Quarterhorses” owned by Tom and Donna Davidson, in Houston. They provided the great horses in 2014 and 2015 and we hope they will be able to provide us with horses for the next few years. The Trainers are competing against each other to showcase their ability to train a horse in a very short amount of time in front of an audience while teaching the audience as well. This not a simple task, and we applaud their efforts. Keep in mind that the training is mostly about the horse and its ability to be taught in such a short time frame. TRAINING TIMES • Thursday: 3pm–6pm • Friday: 9am–12pm and 3pm–6pm • Saturday 9am–12pm, 7:30 pm final (indoor arena) SEVERIN PEDERSON Severin grew up working on a horse ranch, and has always had a great passion for horses. As a young man he competed in many rodeo events including roping and steer wrestling. He won many all around championships in 1992, the Junior world timed event champion and the 1993 Arkansas High School Steer wrestling Champion. He won a full scholarship through rodeo to Odessa College in Texas. Severin is an up and coming gifted horse trainer. His lifelong quest for horse knowledge brought him to Doug Mills who introduced him to Natural Horsemanship, giving him the extra edge. He continues to take clinics to develop his skills. Severin has competed in many trainers’ challenges including the 2011. 2012, 2014 and 2015 ones at the BVX, as well as 2010 and 2011 at the Rafter G Challenge in Fort St John. He put in solid performances in them all and is a crowd favorite. Severin won both the 2014 and 2015 Trainer of the North Challenges.

Amazing isn’t it? This show has always had light horses included as one of the divisions and has evolved into what it is today. We continue to grow and change. People want to see what horses are still being used for in the 21st century, so, as the Light Horse Show committee, we attempt to provide classes for you, the exhibitor, to show your horses in the best light possible. We also hope to educate the public about light horses as you showcase your animals, and your skills. With that in mind we want to thank you, the exhibitor, our ground crew, volunteers and sponsors for supporting this endeavor and hope your experience at the 2016 Bulkley Valley Exhibition Light Horse show will be one to remember. – BVX Light Horse Show Committee DIVISION Y: LIGHT HORSE SHOW RULES (LHS) Y Show Manager: Stephannie Wall: [email protected], 250.552.9780 Show Secretary: Nola Corneau [email protected] 250.847.4980 Entries may be mailed, dropped off at the Smithers Fall Fair Office, online entries available at www. bvfair.ca or mail entries to BV Exhibition Attn: Light Horse Show, Box 2281, Smithers BC V0J 2N0.
