Parade of Horses

The "Parade of Horses" will showcase
different breeds and/or colors of horses.
Each horse and rider enter the arena one
at a time and the announcer will read a brief
description of the horse its heritage and its
uses. After all horses have been shown, all
will re-enter the arena together and stand at
the rail so that people may talk to the rider
and pet the horse.

Lure Coursing

There will be a demonstration of Lure
Coursing given by Laura Cormier. Lure
coursing is a humane sport which re-
creates the chase of the hare by the
pursuing hound. The "bunny" consists of
strips of white plastic attached to a
continuous loop line that runs through a
series of pulleys to simulate the zigzag
path of a rabbit on the run.

After the demo, all dogs that attend the festival
are invited to try the course.

Stick Horse Race

 

Children age 12 and under are invited to gallop their stick horses around the arena under the direction of the Bedford Humane Society.
There will be age divisions and fun for all. The "horses" are tiny but the laughs are large. Perhaps there could be ribbons or prizes for just taking a lap around the track.

 

Muskrat Races

 

This event uses the Jack Russell

Terrier's highly developed prey drive

to swim through water in pursuit

of an artificial lure.

 

Dogs of all shapes and sizes are invited

to swim across the pond in pursuit of an

artificial lure. There will be three divisions

of competition: small, medium, and large

dogs. The winner in each division will

receive a trophy.
