Virginia Horse Festival
Set for April 1-3
The second annual Virginia Horse Festival, April
1-3, offers a comprehensive look at the equine
industry over three days of clinics, demonstrations,
exhibits, shopping and more.
The event is held at The Meadow Event Park in
Caroline County, the historic birthplace of famed
racing legend Secretariat. The weekend includes
the Colt Starting Challenge USA, during which eight
trainers will gentle and ride a previously unridden horse. As they work with the horses Friday and
Saturday, they will explain to audiences how they are gentling the colts. On Saturday night during
the finale, the trainers and horses will navigate a judged obstacle course to determine the winner.
The Southern States Parade of Breeds, which highlights different classes of horses, returns this
year to entertain and educate audiences. Additionally, the 4-H EquiSmartz statewide knowledgebased
competition for 4-H youth returns as well. And the Central Virginia Agility Club will provide
hours of canine entertainment for those attending the festival.
A special salute to Secretariat's birthday also will be part of the weekend events. An indoor trade
show includes vendors representing a wide spectrum of horse supplies and services from boots to
feed, clothing, art and everything in between. Outdoor shopping includes trailer, barn, arena
footing and fencing vendors.
The festival is open from 11 a.m. until 8 p.m. Friday, 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. Saturday and 9 a.m. to 5
p.m. on Sunday. For more information, go to www.virginiahorsefestival.com.
