🎉🏒 VOLUNTEER & WIN WINDSOR SPITFIRES TICKETS! 🏒🎉

We're excited to announce a fantastic new volunteer incentive for the 2026 season!

Thanks to a generous donation from the Windsor Spitfires, one lucky SOTC volunteer will win 4 tickets to a Windsor Spitfires home game during the 2026-2027 season!

🏒 A perfect family night out
🏒 Great seats to cheer on the Spits
🏒 Just in time for the start of hockey season

So how do you enter?

🎟️ Every time you volunteer at an SOTC event, you'll receive one ballot for the draw!

That includes:
🐴 Horse Shows
🎱 Bingos
🚗 Horsepower Car Show
🌿 Work Days & Special Events
🤝 Other volunteer opportunities throughout the season

The more you volunteer, the more chances you'll have to win!

As a volunteer-driven organization, we rely on our community to help make our events possible. Whether you're helping at the gate, setting up rings, assisting at a bingo, or supporting one of our fundraising events, every volunteer hour makes a difference.

We're also incredibly grateful to the Windsor Spitfires for supporting our club and recognizing the importance of community involvement. Hockey has long been a cornerstone of Windsor-Essex, bringing people together and creating unforgettable memories for local families. Much like our horse community, it thrives because of passionate people who step up and get involved.

And really, what says Windsor more than horses and hockey? ❤️

The winning ticket will be drawn at the conclusion of our 2026 show season, just in time for puck drop on another exciting Spitfires season.

Who's ready to start collecting ballots? 🎟️🏒🐴

Please take a minute to read the following information if you plan on attending the May 29th, 30th, and 31st show.

For the weekend we will be having Sunset Flavours as our food truck for Saturday and Sunday. There will be no food truck for our Friday Night Jackpot, however town is less than 10 minutes away with plenty of options.

We are lucky to have HM Photography as our photographer for the weekend!

Since this is our first show, membership or non-member forms MUST be filled out before competing on the grounds. If you plan on competing Friday Night, plan on filling out a membership or non-member form in addition to signing up. Proof of insurance is MANDATORY. We must be provided with a printed copy OR sent a digital copy to our Facebook Messenger before you may ride on the grounds.

Riders cannot begin accumulating points until their membership is paid, filled out, and accompanied by their proof of insurance. Riders can not qualify for year-end awards without being a member (yes, dust bunnies included).

As always, Turn N Burn appeal (e.g. t-shirt, tank top, hoodie, coat) can be worn in lieu of a show shirt.

If a rider is 18 years of age and younger it is mandatory for them to wear a helmet in the show pen at all times (this includes warm up, exhibitions, and all events, including fun events).

Camping for the weekend is welcome!

We hope to see everyone there!

Our first show of the season is coming up this Sunday, and while we’ve had a few people reach out to help, we still do not have enough volunteers to properly run the day. While we do have some board members who can help, many of our board would also like to join in the fun and show this season!

Please read the following,

Given I work as a second shooter with HM Photography. These rules also apply to any of my images whether at shows or private shoots.

Really any photographer local or not, if you love the image enough, buy it.

Respect the hard work that goes into creating these images.

Hope 2026 is a great year of shows.

Before the 2026 season begins, I need to address something honestly and directly: photo theft.

Over the 2025 season alone, well over $1,000 worth of my photos and videos were stolen through screenshots, screen recordings, cropped previews, and unauthorized reposting across personal and business social media accounts. That does not include losses from previous seasons.

Let’s be clear: if a photo was not purchased, licensed, or directly arranged through me, it is not yours to use. Saving previews, screenshotting galleries, reposting without permission, or using content you did not pay for is theft.

Every stolen image represents more than a file on a screen.

It represents my time. My equipment. My travel. My editing hours. My missed weekends. My missed time with family and friends. The years I have spent building the skill, eye, and business that allows me to capture moments people treasure forever.

What hurts most is not only the financial loss, it is the disrespect.

It is watching people proudly post work they knowingly took. It is seeing some people value my talent enough to steal it, but not enough to support it.

For many local events, I am not paid to attend. I come because I believe in local riders, local athletes, and local talent. I choose to stay local because this community matters to me.

And I give back to that community constantly.

I donate prizes and photo packages to banquets.
I donate money to clubs and shows.
I donate prizes at events.
I support organizations and people whenever I can.

I have poured back into this community in ways many people never see.

So when my work is stolen, it hits deeper than just lost sales. It feels like being taken advantage of while still trying to help everyone else succeed.

Because of repeated abuse, the following policies will be in effect for the 2026 season:

• Anyone found using stolen images from 2026 or prior seasons will be blacklisted from future services pending review.
• Unauthorized use of images will result in invoicing for each image used, plus additional penalty fees.
• Previous season theft will be billed at 2026 rates plus applicable penalties.
• Repeat offenders should expect zero leniency.

You pay your hairstylist.
You pay your trainer.
You pay your mechanic.
You pay your vet.
You pay your groceries.

Creative work deserves the same respect.

I understand not everyone can purchase every image they want. That is real life. I offer sales, packages, bundles, and affordable options whenever possible.

What I no longer offer is theft as an option.

As we head into this season, choose who you want to be:

Someone who supports local businesses and artists - or someone who takes from them.

Respect the art. Respect the artist. Respect the person behind the lens.

– HM Photography
