You’ve heard the phrase “membership has its benefits” and membership with the Area 3 Quarter Horse Promotional Club has its benefits too!

A prominent member of the Ontario Quarter Horse Association called Area 3 “very progressive” and “innovative”. The Area 3 executive works very hard to try to ensure that statement is true! Here are some of the ways we keep working for you:

Area 3 year-end awards are considered to be some of the best in the industry. To ensure your Area 3 points for year-end awards are calculated for the entire show season, send in your membership form prior to the first Area 3 shows. Points towards year-end awards are calculated once your membership is received by Area 3. For more information on Area 3 points check out our Point & Trophy Rules on the Forms page.

The Area 3 website continues to be one of the most informative websites available in the equine community. It is being designed and managed by Acappella Information Systems (owned by Mike & Jodi Mallette). The site is updated regularly with all of the latest information and details Area 3 shows and various equine events in Ontario.

Area 3 hosts three of the largest quarter horse shows inside the province each season. Summerama has consistently been the top show in Ontario for many years and boasts entries from all across the United States and Canada. We are fortunate to have fantastic facilities where we hold our shows, with stabling on the grounds and multiple rings to keep the shows running smoothly.

You can see by this impressive list that Area 3 offers many benefits to its members – we encourage you to get involved in the association and support this club with your membership, sponsorship and feedback!

The Ontario Quarter Horse Association designates the boundaries for each Promotional Club. Area 3’s boundary is described as ~ From the Highway 6 in the east (eastern boundary of Area 2), easterly to Hwy. #11 at the north county line of Muskoka county – following Hwy. #11 south to Hwy. #12 to Lake Ontario. The northern boundary shall be the county line of Muskoka.

Please contact us if you would be interested in offering some time as a volunteer – we always have jobs both at the shows and away from the shows that need attention!

The Area 3 Helping Hands Award is given each year in honour of one of our very own special members.

Due to the popularity of Facebook classifieds (horse, tack, services, etc.) we retired our Area 3 Classifieds at the end of 2017.
