🐎✨ Spring For Fun & Fall For Fun Circuit ✨🐎
The Spring For Fun and Fall For Fun shows come together to form a fun, low-pressure circuit where exhibitors can earn cumulative points toward circuit buckles. Designed to be welcoming for riders of all ages and experience levels, this circuit rewards consistency, participation, and good horsemanship—all while keeping the focus on fun.

Please note: while Show For Fun shares the same relaxed, enjoyable atmosphere, it is not included in the circuit points or buckle awards.

Come join us for great horses, great people, and shows that keep the joy in showing!
