Experience North America’s
Premiere Equine Exposition
& Equestrian Gathering
SHOP the largest horse-related trade show in North
America where you can see, touch, try on, and compare
everything you and your horse “need” . . .and some
things you’ll discover you simply “must have!” With large
“super stores” to wander, hundreds of exhibit booths, and
acres of trade show to cover, you’ll want to review the
vendor list online in advance before shopping in person
at the show. And be sure to look for bargains on quality
tack, apparel, and other horse-related items for sale on
consignment at The Marketplace located this year in the
Voinovich Livestock & Trade Center.

unforgettable performances by some of the foremost
equine and equestrian entertainers in the country. The
Fantasia will take you on a journey through various
disciplines and breeds and quickly remind you why we
find horses so enchanting. Appreciate the beauty,
diversity and intelligence of horses at the Fantasia—an
evening of extraordinary entertainment you won’t want to
miss. Advance tickets for the Fantasia are on sale through
March 30. Tickets not sold in advance will be available at

RIDE A HORSE for the first time . . . or the
first time in a long time! Equine Affaire is partnering with
the American Horse Council’s Time to Ride program to
provide opportunities for new and aspiring horse lovers
to have their first encounter with a horse--to learn about
the basics of horses, horse care, horsemanship, and
actually ride a horse for the first time. Representatives of
area horse farms and trainers affiliated with the Time to
Ride program will provide basic instruction and seasoned
lesson horses on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday in Cooper
Arena. Interested first-time or returning riders must sign
up in advance at the Time To Ride booth in the Breed
Pavilion, where stable owners and equine professionals
may also learn about the Time To
Ride Challenge and how to
become involved in this
exciting new program.
