The Farm, Home & Youth Fair will once again be hosting the Parade of Horse Breeds on Saturday, August 12th during the Fair.

The Parade will be held in the sand riding arena from 12 PM to around 12:45 PM with a "meet and greet" with the public along the fence from about 12:45 PM to 1 PM. We need your help in showcasing the wide variety of breeds in our area and to make this the best Parade of Horse Breeds possible.

The horse/pony can be lead or ridden (provided it can be ridden safely). We prefer walk/trot but will allow a controlled canter on the long side of the ring away from the other horses.
