Equestrian sport will benefit from a new facility as the Cornerstone hunter/jumper competitions make the highly-anticipated move to the Essa District Agriplex in Thorton, ON, this summer.
Cornerstone will organize four weeks of hunter/jumper competition and one dressage competition in its first year at the Essa District Agriplex. Conveniently located close to Highways 400 and 27, the new venue is less than a 10 minute drive from the beautiful waterfront of downtown Barrie, ON, with all of its hotels, restaurants and other amenities.
Situated on 100 acres, the facility features two jumper rings and four hunter rings, each with their own warm-up areas. All competition rings feature sand footing on an engineered, tile-drained base and are generous in size, measuring 300 square feet. The star attraction will be the Collard Grand Prix Ring, named in memory of long-time horsewoman, judge, mentor and friend of the sport, Yvonne Collard.
