❤Meet a MHC board member❤

We want to show you a fun side of each of our board members, so we will be introducing you to a member each month! Our board members volunteer their time to help the Manitoba Horse Council be the best it can be, and we are grateful for the dedication, insight, and knowledge they bring to the table!

⭐Meet Eryn Butterfield⭐

🤓If you were a horse, what breed or type would you be and why? "A Quarter Horse, I am quick to react and very versatile in my skills that I bring to the table."

🐴If you could ride any horse in history (real or fictional), which one would you choose and why? "Big Ben. I wouldn't want to jump him, no that is not on my bingo card because that stuff scares me but just to take for a ride. He had so much attitude and presence."

🥰What’s your favorite horse-related memory from the last year and what made it special for you? "Lining up 17 3 year old draft cart horse in the Keystone Arena at Winter fair and thinking how crooked they were, when actually once shown a picture, I had them pretty straight."

Stay tuned for more of our Meet a Member posts in the upcoming months!
