Can anyone show their horse?
Individuals may showcase their horse on Stallion Avenue and/or in a Liberty presentation.  Acceptance is by application through an approval process, with payment in full of applicable charges.  Breed and discipline demonstrations are limited to breed groups or associations due to limited availability of stalls and time constraints.  Contact your breed group coordinator or MHF staff for more details.
What is a “breed & discipline demonstration” at Midwest Horse Fair®?
Breed and discipline associations or clubs submit an application that is put through an approval process for acceptance. Accepted breed and discipline groups prepare two, 10 minute demonstrations that are presented in either the Coliseum or Arena throughout the weekend. Each group prepares a script and provides music. The demonstration may showcase the breed in-hand, under saddle, in-harness, or in the manner that best depicts the breed or discipline, and it is always a plus if the current theme of the year is incorporated. Applications are available if your breed group or association would like to be considered.

All questions, comments, and suggestions regarding Breed & Discipline Demonstrations should be directed to the Breed Coordinator. Email breeds@midwesthorsefair.com  or call 920.623.5515.
