Riding on the overwhelming success of the inaugural ‘Equi-Challenge ’09’, held at Greg and Irene Aziz’s spectacular equestrian estate in Caledon, the Ontario Veterinary College is pleased to announce the plans for Equi-Challenge 2010 to be held at Halton Place, August 26.


While the venue has changed, the unique Equi-Challenge formula, which played to a sold-out crowd in its first year, will remain constant with the top riders from Olympic sports, racing, western and polo ‘changing hats’ for a great cause.
