The Fantasia will take you on a journey with spectacular performances by some of the foremost equine and equestrian entertainers in the country ranging from a taste of the wild west to the elegance and grace of Spanish garrocha, daring acrobatics, mesmerizing horses at liberty, precision drill teams, comedy, and much more.
Clinics, Seminars & Demonstrations: Enjoy an amazing program of more than 150 sessions including clinics on a wide variety of equestrian disciplines in three arenas presented by leading coaches, competitors, and trainers. Soak up a wealth of advice from industry experts on sessions covering the gamut of horse training, horse management, and equestrian subjects at the Demo Ring and the Seminar Stage. Whether you ride English or western, prefer the show arena or the trail, you’ll find a clinic at Equine Affaire to fit your discipline and riding interests. Through Equine Affaire’s Ride With The Best program you can receive individual instruction from – or have your horse trained by – one of the nations’ foremost horsemen and women for a very affordable clinic fee that includes stabling and event admission.
Breed and Horse & Farm Exhibits: Learn about dozens of horse breeds from North America, Europe, and beyond at the Breed Pavilion and the Horse & Farm Exhibits. Representatives of horse, pony, and color associations and registries will be on hand to answer your questions about their breeds and registries.
