The AEF is pleased to announce that the Alberta Horse Trials Association (AHTA) and the Alberta Equestrian Vaulting Association (AVEA) have partnered with us in a new one-year membership processing pilot program for the 2012 membership year. The Canadian Cowboy Challenge (CCC) is also considering partnering and by the time you read this, we hope to have them on board. AHTA and AEVA memberships can already be purchased through the AEF simply by logging in, or registering with the AEF online system. This program is designed to facilitate the process of purchasing multiple memberships, offering a one-stop membership option for members of these organizations!
Plans are in the works for the AEF’s very first fundraising trail ride event at West Bragg Creek in Kananaskis Country. Ride it or drive it for a fun-filled day enjoying one of the jewels of Alberta’s trail systems. The AEF is stepping out of its traditional role and exploring innovative services for under-represented groups. The proceeds from the Wild Rose Ride will go to support of some of these new programs and initiatives. For more information, contact the Wendy in the AEF office. Look for more details to follow in Alberta Bits and on the AEF website.
