Guelph, ON, Oct. 25, 2018 - Come see the interactive, award-winning display EquiMania! Trotting back into Toronto for its 13th appearance at The Royal Agricultural Winter Fair, EquiMania! looks forward to once again joining in the tradition of bringing the country to the city this November 2 – 11. 

Hop in for fun with the new Hopscotch game teaching kids to be safe around horses and on the horse farm. Then weave your way over to braid a horse tail, dig the bones in the bone box, and generally indulge your enthusiasm for all things equine. Learn about anatomy and biology of horses with scale models and real bones. A giant “tree of life” shows the amazing journey leading up to the birth of a foal and then the first stages of life. There is plenty of hands-on fun and no one will leave without learning something new about horses.
