The Courtenay CADORA Summer Show, Aug. 13 at the Comox Valley Fairgrounds, was a success for all riders and spectators.
Vancouver Island judge Monique Fraser went above and beyond in her supportive marking of the individual tests. Her welcome comments helped many riders to improve results on a second ride.
Many entrants came from out of town.
