🤠 GOOD FOOD, GOOD HORSE FOLKS & BIG PLANS FOR THE FUTURE! 🐴

It's that time again and we're changing things up a little this year!

The 100 Mile & District Outriders Club invites you to join us for our Annual General Meeting & Potluck Lunch!

📅 Saturday, November 14, 2026
🥗 Potluck Lunch & AGM
📍 Location & time to be announced

We're trading the usual meeting format for a chance to share some good food, catch up with old friends, make some new ones and talk about what's next for our club!

New to the area? New to horses? Just looking to connect with more horse-loving people? We'd love to meet you! You don't have to be a member to come see what we're all about.

🌟 WE'RE LOOKING FOR PEOPLE WHO WANT TO HELP OUR CLUB GROW!

We have so many ideas and opportunities for the future of the Outriders, but making them happen takes people who are willing to get involved.

We're looking for enthusiastic, dependable individuals interested in joining our board of directors, and / or taking ownership of a particular part of the club.

Maybe you'd love to:
🐎 Organize a gymkhana, fun day or general performance show
🏆 Help plan and coordinate events and clinics
📱 Take the reins on social media and promotion
📝 Step into an Executive or Director role
🤝 Help with sponsorships, volunteers or club development
💡 Bring fresh ideas and help turn them into reality!

You don't have to know everything, and you certainly don't have to do everything. But we are looking for people who are ready to make a genuine commitment, follow through and be part of a team that gets things done.

We have a wonderful horse community here in the Cariboo, and there's so much potential to make our club an even bigger part of it.

Whether you're an experienced horseperson, new to the area, or someone who's been thinking about getting involved for the first time or giving it another go, we'd love to see you at the table.

Come for the food, stay for the friendships, and maybe help us build something pretty special! ❤️🐴

More details coming soon. In the meantime, mark your calendar and spread the word!

Don't forget to get your order in. We watched Robyn & Gloria take 1 zillion photos and what we've seen so far are amazing!! Can't wait to see more!

Hello! If you rode in the South Cariboo Ranch Show last weekend, I just wanted to let you know that you can still sign up for photos at the "pre-booking" rate. I'm leaving it open until 5pm today. You'll receive all the edited photos taken by me for the day(s) you book. The booking form can be found on my website (www.robyncowan.com) under "Booking Forms". I'm still editing photos - I'm hoping to be done by Saturday but it could be early next week. Questions? Feel free to email or DM me!

I'm not even sure where to begin. ❤️

Every year, when the dust settles after our Ranch Show, I find myself wondering if I have it in me to do it all again. 😂 The planning, the organizing, the worrying, the million little details that nobody sees... it's a LOT.

But this year? This year feels different.

Not only did we finally find our flow but... the messages, the posts, the kind words, and the genuine appreciation we've received since the weekend have been overwhelming in the very best way. I've read some of them more than once, and I can't tell you how much they mean to me.

The idea for the South Cariboo Ranch Show was born after attending a fabulous show put on by the Ranch Horse Revolution Club. We came home inspired by what they had created and thought, why couldn't we build something like that here in the Cariboo?

Four years later, here we are.

From the beginning, the goal was never just to put on another horse show. It was to create a place where people feel welcome, where good horsemanship is celebrated, where friendships are made, and where everyone, regardless of their experience, feels like they belong.

And reading these words, I think maybe we're doing just that. 🥹

I also need to give a whole lot of love to Krista. ❤️ The two of us are the ones behind the scenes, dreaming things up, figuring things out, putting out fires (sometimes before anyone even knows there was one 😂), and somehow pulling this whole thing together year after year. I honestly couldn't imagine doing it without her. We make a pretty darn good team!

Of course, none of it would be possible without the incredible people who step up alongside us. Our volunteers, sponsors, officials, competitors, and everyone who pitches in wherever they're needed. You are what makes this show so special.

I've always loved horses, but it's the people I've met along the way who make this community something truly extraordinary.

So, from the bottom of my heart, thank you. For showing up, for supporting us, for sharing your experiences, and for reminding us why we do this.

And to the Ranch Horse Revolution Club, thank you for planting that little seed four years ago. You never know what you might inspire simply by doing something you love.

I think it's safe to say... there WILL be a 5th Annual Ranch Show! 🤠❤️

Here are just a few of the lovely words people have shared since the weekend. I couldn't keep them to myself.

We are so excited to welcome Robyn to the show pen for our 4th Annual South Cariboo Ranch Show this weekend! We had a last minute opening and she graciously filled it. Robyn is no stranger to the Cariboo and has a ton of equine photography experience.

Exhibitors, check out her portfolio and follow the link to the pre-order form on her website to save on your photo package. See y’all tomorrow!

I'm so excited to report I'll be the photographer at the 100 Mile House and District Outriders Ranch Show this weekend Oct 3 & 4! If you're in the show and would like to pre-book photo coverage, the booking form can be found on my website www.robyncowan.com under "Booking Forms". Due to this being last minute, the form will be held open until next Wednesday October 7. Once photos are ready to be posted on my website, "pre-booking" will end. But sign up early, so I know to get lots of photos of you! See you there!
