That's exactly what will be hap- pening this coining weekend at Kil• - byrne Farms. July 29 to 31 near Thomdale. Equi -Pest '88 to be held on the 187 rolling acres.of Martha Black- burn's impressive.country estate in -West Nissouri township will fea- ture the. fourth and final Canadian Olympic dressage trial. -The-four top riders and horses in the overall four Canadian trials will represent this country in the 1988 Summer. Olympics in Seoul, Ko- rea. Also selected this weekend will be a young rider team which will go on to compete in. the North American championships in Chica- go. As a.result"of the first three trials, three horse and rider combinations appear to have spots on the Olym- pic team virtually wrapped up. They. are 36 year-old Cindy Ishoy from Hamilton; Astiley Nicoll, 24 years of age from Toronto and Gina Smith, 30 of Saskatoon. Ishoy has won two of. the trials, Nicoll cap- tured the oilier and Smith has been at least third in all three competi- tions. In dressage; horse and rider arc tested in 32- elements of various, .gaits, steps and directions. The rid- ers.givc commands to the horses si- lenily and without any visible direc- tion: .. A demonstration of dressage was • -given at a press conference Thurs- day afternoon by Kilbyrne Farms resident trainer and also an Olympic trial competitor Roger Secgert with his horse Venedig. All reporters and photographers looking on were awed with the pre- cision as Venedig _,moved--to-Sce- gcrt's unseen commands. As chief Equi -Fest organizer Cass Bayley said, "It was poetry in motion . It's very: difficult, but a rider of Roger's capabilities makes it look so easy". Dressage has been a major specta- tor sport•in Europe for many years and is quickly gaining exposure in Canada. Cass Bayley adds, "If you Farms host Olympic trials like dressage you will attend Equi - Fest and if you don't know dressage you will want to be there to find out." The final dressage trial will get underway on Saturday afternoon at 2.30 p.m. and should continue for about two and a half hours. Many other features will be part of Equi -Fest '88. A tent full of more than 65 ex- hibitors, from large corporations to small cottage industries will dem- onstrate their products and services throughout the three day show as part of the Trade Fair. On Saturday, the Canadian Sport Horse Breeders Showwill be run- ning a full day program which will attract the top horse breeders for sport horses used in jumping, dressage, eventing and hunting. They will, judged on conforma- tion and performance. That's how they look, how they move and how they perform. The three full days will include numerous entertaining horse dem- onstrations including many differ- ent breeds showing the versatility of thc horse. They will be driving, riding and performing. This is the area for a hands-on look and infor- mal talks.with the professionals. On Friday at 5 p.m., thc South- western Ontario Equine Associa- tion in conjunction with Boehring- er Ingelheim will hold a continuing education seminar to introduce the Vcnti-graph, a new diagnostic device to aid in the vete- rinary diagnosis of equine respira- tory disease. Equi -Fest began as just a trade show, not only for the equestrian set but for standardbrcd and thor- oughbred owners. Landing the Olympic trial completed the circle of attraction. In order to stage the Olympic trials, Kilbyrne Farms had to be approved. as a world-class site, clearing the way for the farm to be a future site for other competi- tions. With accreditation, World Cup points can be earned there. In the past, Canadian riders were forced to campaign in Europe to gain enough points to qualify for. the World Cup. - ,Bayley concluded, "There are very few places that could have had this, you need the facilities and the backup team. This is our show. We've had to finance it, organize it and publicize it." PREPARE FOR EUI -FEST - A media briefing was held Thursday at Kilbryne Farms, near Thorndale to publi- cize this upcoming weekend's EQUI-FEST competitioh when Canada's dressage team will be chosen to compete in the 1988 Olympics in Seoul, Korea.

"The truc essence of Karate isn't like what -they see on TV. It's hon- our, respect, gratitude, humbleness -- it develops charactcr in a per- son." Bell will be leading a group of young Karate afficionados through basic training techniques, repeti- tions and routines which arc used in Tyndall's Karate school. The group will also go over some basic kicks, punches and blocks. Defence techniques will be dem- onstrated and if time permits, the 'group will do a little sparring. As Bcll leads the group, he will comment on the philosophy bc- hind Karate. "l'in going to explain that as I'm going along," says Bell. "When you have a class in session, it's easier to explain."
