The headline may be a slight exaggeration, but there was an enthusiastic crowd on August 28 in the VTEA arena to see Jay O Jay, the celebrated horseman, demonstrate how well you can establish a connection with even very young horses.

VTEA and the other major charities that have benefited by the efforts of the Langley Good Times Cruise-In will all be looking forward to its early return.
