Parking: We ask that all spectators park in the Harvey High School parking lot, located across the road from Brae Fearann. There will be a parking attendant directing trailers as they arrive. Please, no exceptions to these rules.

Directions: We are located in beautiful Harvey Station, New Brunswick. See complete directions.

Medical Assistance: Brae Fearann is conveniently located almost across the street from the Harvey hospital. Medical attendance and the ambulance will be on call for the Horse Trial.

Water: Water is available at the Event.

Stabling: We now offer limited on-site stabling with some additional stabling approximately 5 km from the Event. Please contact us as soon as possible should you require stabling so arrangements can be made. Please ensure that you have someone to hold your horse so that no horses are left tied to the outside of the horse trailer. We are located on a busy road and wish to minimize any possibility of a loose horse.

Footing: The cross country courses have excellent grass footing with some gravel surfaces where required (on top of the banks). Corks are advised for pre-training and training as a safety precaution. The dressage ring is on sand with warm up on grass. Stadium will be on grass or sand. All warm up is on grass.

Canteen: A canteen run by horse show volunteers will offer on-site refreshments including: healthy snacks, light lunches, bottled water, coffee, juice, pop, and sweets.

Toilet: Porto-John will be available for the Event.

Host: The Harvey Eventing Club is the host organization for shows and events held at Brae Fearann Equestrian Facility.

American Competitors

Entering Canada with a horse for less than 30 days:

A coggins test within 6 months is required. Bring the original with you on your travel.
A health certificate, completed by your veterinarian and then approved/signed by the federal vet is also required (do this well in advance, as it takes time to complete).
You must stop at Canada Customs and they will take a copy of your vet certificate and coggins. You do not have to see a federal vet at the border if you are staying less than 30 days.

General Rules during our Event:

Sorry, no dogs permitted. We have dogs and other farm animals.
Please bring a fork and skip with you and pick up your horse droppings from around your horse trailer before leaving. This makes for much less clean up for us and ensures a healthy environment for other horses.
No riding in areas other than those designated for the Event.
A fastened hard hat and proper riding attire is expected at all times while mounted.
Please ensure you load your horse or have someone to hold your horse during the event to eliminate tying the horse to the outside of the horse trailer. We are located on a busy road and wish to minimize any possibility of a loose horse.
Please respect the garbage cans and recycling cans located near the ring and near the barn.
