Natural Horsemanship with Glenn Stewart
Glenn Stewart Natural Horsemanship Stage 3/4 in Smithers, April 13+14, 2012.
This clinic is open to those who have passed their Stage 2 assessment. Stages 3 + 4 are where the magic of horsemanship starts. Can you imagine knowing the secrets of control without force, of communication without ropes?
Learn to tell the critical difference between lack of understanding or confidence vs. disrespect and the different ways to deal with each. Learn about impulsion and how to encourage positive reflexes both on the ground and in the saddle.

Show dates: Feb 28 – March 31, 2012. Opening reception: Friday March 2 from 7-9pm - come along and discover the artists you might not have known existed! All welcome and admission is free. Gallery hours: Tuesday-Saturday, 12-4pm.

BV Farmers Market
The Bulkley Valley Farmers’ Market Association (BVFMA) was established in 1996. It operates a market at the Central Park Building parking lot at 1425 Main St. (at the corner of Highway 16) on Saturdays from 8 am to 12 pm from Mothers' Day weekend in May to the end of September. Indoor markets are held during winter months.
The objective of the market is to educate and encourage local production by providing an outlet for local farm produce, crafts and products of cottage industry. While it is called a farmers market, and the BVFMA does focus on food products, the BVFMA promotes all local cottage based industries. We have a 'make, bake, or grow' policy and are committed to quality products that improve the health and lives of individuals, as well as facilitate social, economic, and cultural activities that improve the community as a whole.
