Abegweit Show Series

Island Horse Council’s Abegweit Competition Series is designed to promote and encourage participation in competitions of multiple equestrian disciplines on Prince Edward Island that follow a standardized format of competition rules and regulations. The program supports local, community, and provincial equestrian clubs, generating interest and encouraging athletes and coaches to achieve personal success at competitions at an introductory or grassroots level. Island Horse Council supports and facilitates qualifying competitions to ensure athletes have the opportunity to compete regardless of age, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, race, or ability.
