Eaglesfield was proud to be a part of the unveiling this past Friday and Saturday of The Agrium Western Event Centre, one of the largest projects in the history of the Calgary Stampede. After two years of anticipation, this state-of-the-art 20,000 square foot building has become the home of equestrian events and agricultural programs for years and years to come.
It was nice to head into Calgary with the horses the day before the ceremonies, and dry out from the multi-day downpours we experienced last week.
And we were all smiles preparing the horses and wagon for the exhibition.
Friday evening's sneak peek into The Agrium was by invitation only ...
and our exhibition with the horses were for only several hundred attendees.
Our demonstration went off without difficulty, and we were pleased to have had the opportunity to christen this fabulous venue and escort Stampede dignitaries around the facility over the weekend. Click on the photo of the docked Percherons (above) to view the awesome time-lapse video of The Agrium being built over the last 22 months.
We look forward to the competitions in this arena next week at the Stampede and seeing all our draft horse friends and family once again.
It was a BIG ribbon!
