Horses are in and we are set up at the Iowa State Fair Society Horse Show! We are in row E/F (stalls 521-525, 621-625) in the middle of the barn. Come say hi!

The horses all have posters describing them, which were a hit last year! Big thanks to our rider Taya for designing all the posters…they look great!

Our riders had the challenge of stepping up to a much bigger stage this show, and I am proud to say that each rider rode to the occasion and not only had a good first ride, but every rider improved their ride during their championship! We are very proud of how these girls rose to the occasion not only for showing, but also in supporting each other and working together! We are blessed with a fantastic group of show riders! On to Mid States!
