City officials describe Ringsteken as a traditional Dutch game where points are awarded for each ring a competitor ‘catches.’ Rings are caught by riders who are either in a carriage or on horseback trotting towards the ring and attempting to put a lance through it. The horses will be ridden or driven to the event at 2:30 p.m. from the Ponoka Arena Complex to Downtown Ponoka.

The Ringsteken event begins at 3 p.m. and runs until 5 p.m. Motorists are advised to drive with caution in these areas and watch for horses and pedestrians.
