On Sunday November 8 By The Love Of Horses Welcomes Christine Reupke of the Royal Agricultural Fair

On Sunday November 8th By The Love Of Horses welcomed Christine Reupke, a Director of the Royal Agricultural Fair, to talk about this year's virtual celebration of the Fair.

There are many reasons why the Royal Agricultural Fair has such a special place  in the hearts of many Canadians. It celebrates the deep agricultural roots that abide in this country. Perhaps the Royal Agricultural Fair speaks to some of us of a nostalgia for a simpler life. It speaks, too, to some of our core values: to the importance of family, hard work, commitment, patience and sacrifice.

                 

Listen to the podcast to discover some of the ways the Royal is being celebrated virtually this year!

 

                 

 

As a rider at 60 years old, I believe that all can benefit from the secret of riding. I myself raised with a British background, take inspiration from the Queen who continues to ride at 94 years old. I believe that the same can be true for today’s youth. Riding can give them hope that they can overcome the challenges that they face and give them the confidence to become all that they can.  

I was moved by the calls I received after my interview with Libby Znaimer from women and men who told me their stories of their love of horses and riding. They told me how riding set them up to overcome their circumstances. Some came out of the Depression, some out of World War II... these riders did not let these experiences dampen their efforts to achieve a full and happy life and make a contribution to their respective communities. All mentioned that riding helped immeasurably in this. They believe that riding gave them the confidence in themselves and in their ability to do something ... to go after what they wanted their lives to be.

If you are interested in sharing your experiences of riding in the past, or more recently with regard to today's youth, on my upcoming radio show on Zoomer Radio, please contact me at ByTheLoveOfHorses@redscarfequestrian.ca
