Nanaimo Equestrian Association NEA is a non-profit society that promotes & fosters equestrian activities and sports in the Mid Vancouver Island area.

NEA is the group that manages Beban Park Equestrian Center. It is a non-profit society, with volunteers creating a professional and well maintained site for equestrian and non-equestrian events. NEA is proud to offer a facility with the most stalls available in the Mid-Island area, perfect for large events, with ample space to park and maneuver trailers that most facilities do not have. Although Beban Park is a perfect choice for large events, NEA can also cater to small events, renting out only part of the facility at a day rate or an hourly cost. NEA encourages schooling shows and clinics, encouraging Mid-Island youth to become involved in Equestrian sports at a lower cost than at other facilities. The equestrian grounds consists of four riding rings:
- 70 feet by 200 feet, indoor sand footing ring
- 134 feet by 235 feet, outside wood fiber footing ring
- 236 feet by 88 feet, outside wood fiber footing ring
- 120 feet by 240 feet, outside sand footing ring

Other features of the facility consist of:
- A show office and announcer's room with a PA system
- Washrooms
- Seating for all rings
- 118 covered stalls
- On site shavings and manure dumping site
- Running water to all the barns
- Ample parking area for trailers and vehicles
- Ring preparation prior to your event
- Meeting space for seated gatherings and education

🐴 **What a wonderful weekend of learning, connection, and horses!** 🐴

A huge thank you to everyone who came out to our clinic with **Jodie Moore** this weekend. It was such a pleasure to see so many riders come together with open minds, positive attitudes, and a genuine desire to learn and improve.

Jodie, thank you for sharing your knowledge, experience, and passion with our riders. Your thoughtful instruction, attention to detail, and ability to meet each horse and rider where they are made for such a valuable weekend of learning. We are so grateful you took the time to come and share your expertise with our equestrian community.

One of the things we love most about our horse community is just how special it is when we **work together, support one another, cheer each other on, and celebrate each other's progress.** The horse world can be a small one, and there is something truly wonderful about seeing people come together, ride together, learn together, and genuinely want to see each other succeed. ❤️

To everyone who trusts the **Nanaimo Equestrian Association** with your horses, your training, and your time — **we see it, and we appreciate it more than you know.** Providing good footing, a safe and welcoming space to ride, and opportunities to learn and grow is something we take seriously.

Our goal will always be to work hard to bring our equestrian community the very best opportunities we can. We are incredibly grateful for your continued support and for helping us build a place where riders of all levels can come together, learn, encourage one another, and simply enjoy being with their horses.

Thank you for being part of our community. **Keep riding, keep learning, keep supporting each other, and keep cheering each other on.** 🐴❤️

**From all of us at the Nanaimo Equestrian Association — thank you, Jodie, and thank you to every rider who made this weekend so special!**
