The MHC Equestrian Facility is built on approximately forty acres of land leased from the Provincial government. It has undergone several upgrades over past years to ensure this 1967 and 1999 Pan American Games site remains current - not only to equestrian enthusiasts but to all who visit.

The Manitoba Horse Council (MHC) Equestrian Facility is accessible to a variety of equestrian disciplines for use in hosting competitions, clinics, and camps. It accommodates such disciplines as Barrel Racing, Competitive Trail, Cutting, Dressage, Driving, Endurance, Eventing, and Show Jumping (Hunter/Jumper).

Eventing/horse trial competitors have easy access to cross-country courses of all levels located nearby in the park. Obstacles built for the 1967 and 1999 Pan American Games are also still standing, although the highly active Manitoba Horse Trials group maintains and builds new obstacles on an annual basis. Former Olympian, Robin Hahn, originally designed the nationally rated Training, Preliminary, and Intermediate level courses.

Driving competitors have access to the same area as Eventing competitors for Combined Driving Events, and the Driving Society has built and maintains an elegant and outstanding bridge obstacle next to a challenging water feature. 

Endurance, Competitive Trail, and recreational trail riders have admittance to miles of wonderful trails throughout the park. Polo tournaments take place weekly during the season on the field adjacent to the Facility. 

Other Uses: MHC also encourages the use of its Equestrian Facility for other purposes. Such activities that could be booked and accommodated include dog shows, beach volleyball, fun runs, cross country runs, company picnics, etc. 

Other activities available in Birds Hill Park include camping, biking, hiking, running, swimming, rollerblading, and picnicking, as well as various winter activities. The Birds Hill Park Ranch and restaurant are located immediately beside the MHC Equestrian Facility. The Birds Hill Park Ranch also features trail rides and a petting zoo.
