The Iowa Horse Fair is the largest equine event in Iowa and draws attendees from Iowa and several surrounding states. Attendance has been growing and last year we had attendance around 10,000 people.
This year we feature Craig Johnson, TJ Clibborn & Kelli Paulson.
This year we will also have the Iowa Horse Fair Rodeo, drill team competition and the Queen contest.
The Iowa Horse Fair includes breed presentations, equine performance demos, youth events, clinics, drill teams, Cowboy Church, a Trail Challenge, and Iowa’s largest equine trade show.
The Trade Show will be in the Varied Industry Building that is located north of the Jacobson Building. There are also spots available for vendors in the Cattle Barn.
