Breed Showcase

The purpose of the breed showcase is to allow associations, breeders and the general horse public to showcase their selected breed for the education of the public. The presentations are specific to the origin, particular use and talents of each breed and may be showcased in native costume and choreographed to music. In the barn a hospitality area is provided to further the one on one interaction between the horse owner or association representative and the children. This is essential for developing knowledge of the breed.

Different Breeds of Horses will be Featured, including Arabians, Quarter Horses, Paints, Miniatures, Paso Fino, Peruvian Paso, Tennessee Walking Horses, Welsh Cob, Missouri Fox Trotter, Morgan, Standard Bred, and many more!

Interactive Clinics You Can Participate In

In an effort to promote the creative learning process we have developed clinics that feature different facets of horse care which allow children hands on interaction with horses. We believe this builds self confidence and enhances the desire for learning. Each presentation is arranged for small groups of children to hear about and actually help with that particular clinic. For example, after learning the proper steps of grooming the children would participate by repeating the steps on horses provided.

A station for the purpose of just petting a horse is a great way to allow younger children to experience the magic of a horse. We will solicit and organize people that will bring their horses and expertise for the purpose outlined.

You must register for clinics, there are a limited number of participants. $5.00 additional to participate in a clinic.
