The other 20% of this year’s Poker Derby Fundraiser proceeds will be held in trust by DRM to assist Elsie Garn, a local DRM Junior Rider, attend her first International FEI 2* Competition being hosted in Chile this November. This International Endurance ride will help Elsie attain her Elite Status and be a qualifying ride to work towards being selected for the 2027 PanAm games Canadian Endurance Team.
