The Golden Light Horse Club recently held its annual awards banquet to recognize and honour the top horses and riders who took part in the 2022 season.

The event was also a celebration of the many accomplishments the club enjoyed this past year.

That includes Monday Fundays, the Brisco Challenge and the 10th anniversary of the Delbert Johnson Barrel Jackpot which brings in riders from all B.C. and Alberta to compete for cash prizes.

A couple of successful grants saw the club make improvements to the hydro system, put water into the grounds, and make improvements to the canteen.

But perhaps the biggest success was that the club more than doubled its membership to over 100 members in 2022.
