Overview

Looking for something different to do with the family? Come meet the horses. Family Night gives children and adults the chance to meet American Saddlebreds up close, enjoy youth activities, and learn enough about the show to pick favorites and cheer them on in the arena.

No horse experience is needed. It is an easy, welcoming way for families to experience horses firsthand and connect with local riding programs if the evening leaves you wanting more.

Meet at 5:30 PM at the ASHBA Cabin by the Grand Outdoor Arena. For more information or to RSVP, contact [email protected].

The Saddlebred Fan Zone is generously sponsored by Mercer Springs Farm.
