2026 Maker's Markets

This year we are excited to offer a Maker's Market in 2026 at both the East and West Events.

This Market is intended to feature handmade goods created by Canadian Makers. The gear used in developing the Bridled Stockhorse is steeped in tradition and is the focus of this curated Makers Market. We encourage those who create this gear to join us and showcase their goods. Connect with customers, network with other makers and be part of The Skills of the Outfits 2026.
