Union Horse Expo

24/06/2026

There is no secret closer than that between a rider and their horse. For centuries, horses have been anchors for our mental health—teaching us patience, grounding us in the present, and offering silent, unconditional support when we need it most. Our sponsors at The Stables at Lane’s Creek see this magic every single day. They know that the barn is not just a place to train; it is a sanctuary. We are so grateful for their partnership in making su***de prevention a core focus of this year's Expo. Tell us in the comments: How has your horse helped your mental health?

A community is only as strong as its foundation. This year, the Union Horse Expo is proud to partner with three incredible non-profit organizations dedicated to making a real difference in mental health, support, and su***de prevention. Over the coming weeks, we will be highlighting the work they do and how your attendance on September 19 directly helps support their missions. Give them a warm welcome in the comments.

We are officially down to our final remaining vendor openings, and we are looking to fill our last horse-specific slots with USED TACK SELLERS!

Right now, we don't have any on the books. That means if you join us, you will have zero competition and a crowd of eager buyers all to yourself.

We are welcoming everyone:

Local riders wanting to clear out personal saddles, blankets, bridles, and bits.

Established businesses and mobile consignment shops looking for a high-traffic setup.

Stop tripping over that extra gear in the barn and get paid for it instead!

The Union Horse Expo is about more than just horses; it is about the community that rides them. We are incredibly proud to share that this year, we are stepping up to shine a light on Su***de Prevention and Mental Health Awareness in the equestrian world. This vital mission is made possible by our incredible sponsors, The Belk Mansion and The Stables at Lanes Creek. They are not just businesses; they are community pillars who believe that no one should ride through the dark alone. Stay tuned as we share resources, stories, and ways we can support one another leading up to September 19.

We didn't just appear overnight. From a single vendor table and a digital tack shop to an event network, our roots are firmly planted in this community.
