Edmonton, Alberta --- More than 340 horse and rider combinations have arrived at Edmonton's Northlands Park for the 2006 Edmonton Northlands Horse Show. They'll be competing for more than $140,000 in prize money and gifts.

The Grand Prix action starts tonight with the RBC Financial Group and Carma Developments $7,500 Open Welcome Jumper. This class will set the pace for the rest of the week.

The Edmonton Northland's Horse Show is also proud to host "Bringing Home the Dream", sponsored by Milestone Farms and Woodlawn Farms. This is a unique show jumping competition and fundraiser in support of breast cancer research at the Cross Cancer Institute. The goal is to surpass the $80,000 raised in

2005 for breast cancer research. The competition will take place at noon on Sunday, June 4th. Unique to this type of show jumping competition, riders must set their own course on the fly in order to accumulate the most points - guaranteed to be fast and furious with no predetermined course to follow. To support the fundraiser, please contact Kate Watt at (780) 231-9288.

Competitors at this year's show range from 10-year-old children in Pony divisions to a top field of Open Grand Prix riders. Attending the 2006 Northlands Horse Show will be a wonderful experience for the whole family and, best of all, admission and parking are free. Whether you are watching the competitions or simply wandering the grounds admiring the horses, the

2006 Northlands Horseshow provides something for everyone.

FREE PONY RIDES for the kids are available on the Saturday and Sunday.

Don't miss the SPECTRUM SPEED DOG PERFORMANCE, Saturday at 1:00 p.m.
