Arion is proud to support our riders who have worked hard
to achieve a more advanced skill level.
We have a few more up and coming students who are anxious for the opportunity to compete in 2011 but to make this happen we need support. Travel and show fees are expensive ($150 for local shows and up to $2000 for bigger competitions in the lower mainland). Sponsor Package available.
