Equine Facilities

Major changes are coming to the procedures for obtaining a booking for your riding activity or event.  FIRST, you will have to decide if you want to book a single-session activity OR set up a multi-day, large group event with a Rental Agreement.

Please bear with us as we work on the new booking procedures!  Thank you!

Fairground Bookings

SINGLE-SESSION BOOKINGS:
A single-session booking is one that obtains a block of time for a group of riders (e.g. 1 to 25) to use one of the BADAS equine facilities on a single day.  Please be patient as we work on a new system that will automate single-session bookings thereby reducing lead time to just a few hours.

RENTAL AGREEMENT BOOKINGS:
Rental agreements will be set up for multi-day, large group bookings (e.g. Clinics, Camps, or Competition events) and will be handled as we have in the past.  Lead time of several weeks to months will be necessary.  The current online Booking Form will be revised to accommodate information needed to create a rental agreement.  Please be patient as we work on these changes as well.

GENERAL BOOKING INFORMATION

Please follow the steps below to book your clinic, schooling, lessons, casual riding, camp or other event.

Procedures and forms:

Please read information in the sections below before booking the facilities. Below you will find the following information:

  • General Booking Information
  • COVID-19 Pandemic Protocol for Facility Users
  • Fairground Facility Booking Form - please use the online form to make a booking.

NOTE 1:
Please carefully plan your booking!  Single-session bookings will be made automatically by the system.  Omissions or errors on the Booking Form may result in rejection or carryover of the errors to the Booking Calendar.  Lead time might now be less than 3 hours (not yet tested).

NOTE 2:
If you are making a multi-day booking (i.e., a Clinic, Camp, or Competition event), allow several weeks lead time.  When filling in the Booking Form, select 'Rental Agreement' under Booking Type.  Your booking information for the event will be forwarded to the BADAS General Manager for further action.

Where is BADAS located in Alberta's Capital Region?

BADAS itself does not have an official HQ office, currently relying on its Board member volunteers and General Manager to provide administrative support. The BADAS Fairground (71.3 acres), located in the central part of Leduc County, Alberta, was annexed into the City of Beaumont in 2018, and is located at the west edge of the City. The Fairground is located 10 minutes east of Edmonton International Airport and 10 minutes south of the City of Edmonton.

East/West Outdoor Show Rings

Great for Equine, Canine and Bovine Shows!

There are 2 full-size show rings of 132 feet by 271 feet (40 metres by 82.6 metres) with sand footing. One hundred twenty-eight (128) open air stalls have been completed and are available for $20 per day. Thirty (30) covered stalls have also been completed and are available at $30 per day. As expected, footing in the outdoor show rings in the past few years has been challenged by the constant wind, rain, sleet, snow, ... you get the idea!

Featured BADAS Fairground User Group

Clearwater Valley Pony Club (CVPC)!

BADAS provides facilities and administrative assistance to support the programming of district user groups that rely on the Fairground and its amenities. Often, these groups in return donate their expertise and resources to help the Ag Society during fundraising and community events like the annual Rural Roots Fair. BADAS is proud to feature the Clearwater Valley Pony Club (CVPC), a long-term partner.

CVPC celebrated its 50th Anniversary in conjunction with the 12th Annual Beaumont Horse Trials at BADAS Fairgrounds on June 2-3, 2018. This event drew 176 riders from BC, Alberta and Saskatchewan that competed in each of 3 disciplines for Horse Trials: Dressage, Show Jumping, and Cross Country. With the help of 70+ volunteers, the weekend was a huge success. Being a special anniversary, a live band and catered dinner were held on June 3 for competitors, alumni and CVPC families.

CVPC also partners with BADAS to host the annual Beaumont Clinic & Derby in May. After the CIVID-19 pandemic, this event became a 2-day Cross-Country Clinic. Another major event hosted by CVPC is the Beaumont Horse Trials (BHT). BHT was cancelled in 2020 and 2021, but will go ahead with a new format in 2022. In 2021, CVPC had 5 active members and 3 Horse Masters.

CVPC would like to thank BADAS for their continued support for our members.
