*******As of today (July 6th) we have 94 commercial vendors from 14 different States. Some are coming from as far away as OK and TX. There will be great selections of English & Western show apparel, tack, equipment, and other horse & dog supplies.
Food at Horse Days following the pancake breakfast will include BBQ Pork & Chicken, Gyros, Philly Cheese Steak Sandwiches, Meat Ball Subs, Jambalaya, Italian Sausage, Fries, Tacos, Burritos, Fry Breads, Pizza, Hot Dogs, Corn Dogs, Roasted Corn on the Cob, Hamburgers, Sundaes, Floats, Funnel Cakes, and more.
18 Guest Speakers, of which 9 are either a Vet or have a PhD degree in their respective field. Topic will be Nutrition, Horse Health including Holistic Horse, Acupuncture, Reiki, Hoof, parasite and more. Other topics are Composting and DOT requirements.
15 Clinicians are being scheduled covering a wide range of disciplines and behavior challenges. Some of the clinics scheduled are Through the Judges Eyes by Dan Grunewald, Obstacle Trail Course by Steve Lantvit, Teaching your Horse to Drive by Dave Kluge, Gaited Riding by Juli Realy, Barrel Racing by Donna Irvin, Eventing by Jamie Price, Showmanship by Rob Robinson, Equi-Soccer by Harmony Horsemanship, Longeing by Mike Branch, and more. Some of these clinics are free, others have a fee that gets paid directly to the Clinician.
Workshops include horse trailer backing. We'll have new Ram, Ford, and Chevy Trucks there along with 13 different new trailer brands.
We'll also have John Deere, Cub Cadet, and Mahindra compact utility tractors there for you to test your backing skills with a hay wagon or manure spreader.
More workshops should be finalized by mid July.
Also wanted to mention our Fun Pass for admission to Horse Days all three days and admission to all five of our events at the Ram Grandstand Arena for just $35.00.
You can keep posted on updates by visiting our website at www.horsedays.net or our Facebook page.
Here is a picture of where things are going to be located at the Boone Co. Fairgrounds during Horse Days in a couple of weeks. There may still be a few changes/adjustments, but most of this should be set. For more information or a larger view of the map, please visit www.horsedays.net
*******Another Rodeo at Horse Days. The Little Boots Rodeo. This rodeo is a non competitive rodeo for children from the ages of 3 to 12. There will be 10 participation events. The entry fee is $10.00 for a "punch card" listing all 10 events and a free hot dog & coke. Some of the events include a stick horse race, a mechanical baby bull ride, bouncy ball barrel race, etc. Once all 10 events are punched, the youngster will get a certificate stating they are now an "Official Rodeo Cowboy/Cowgirl." For more information go to www.littlebootsrodeo.org. All of the profits from this event benefit the Little Boots Foundation.
This should be a lot of fun for everybody. I hope I'll be able take a break and watch for a bit as well.
