During the prestigious, three-day event, reiners will compete for their share of the thousands of dollars in payout money and prizes including top quality custom reining saddles.

This prominent event will be held September 7-9 at the "State of the Art" Heritage Park in Chilliwack, B.C., just east of Vancouver. As in the past, Slide Out West is expected to attract contestants, owners and spectators from all over Western Canada and the U.S.A ; as well as local equine enthusiasts and targeted media.

The 2012 Slide Out West Show features three days of reining competition, plus a trade show area for display and sampling. There also are a variety of hospitality venues and social events to entertain clients and guests. Upon arrival, attendees are immersed in an enjoyable, laid-back atmosphere. This aspect is part of what makes Slide Out West so unique and keeps people coming back year after year.

With plenty of in-arena opportunities to school horses, exhibitors don't have to stay up all night long to make the final tune-ups on their mount. That makes more time for fun. There are many ways to enjoy quality time with friends old and new. It's all part of the Slide Out West experience, and each year there's something special to enjoy!
