The YEG Equestrian Pony Pals Camera Club had a fantastic morning Saturday at Century Mile Racetrack and Casino
This initiative, created by Sarah Mavro of The Yeg Equestrian, is about building community among horse fans from all backgrounds and creating opportunities to learn, connect and experience different corners of the horse industry. I was happy to support Sarah’s idea of coming to the Thoroughbred & Quarter Horse race track!
Because it was Canadian Derby Preview morning, we started with a $5 breakfast at the Finish Line Restaurant before heading out to the rail to talk horses and photography. (The Canadian Derby runs this Saturday at Century Mile)
A big thank you to Century's Chris Tian Photography for answering questions and sharing his expertise about photographing at the racetrack. The photos coming out of the morning have been fabulous!
Most of the photographers were already professionals working in other areas of the horse industry, but had an interest in learning more about racehorses and capturing the action at the track.
And that is exactly what came out of this fun morning...new horse racing fans, fabulous content, new connections and the idea that we should plan another visit soon from a different location on the Century Mile race track.
If you don’t already follow TheYEGEquestrian on Instagram, you should. She posts some amazing events and created this awesome community.
Anddd the last weekend for Thoroughbred/Quarter Horse racing at Century Mile is Saturday, September 12th. If you haven’t made it there yet this year, plan on attending!
