The final weekend of October brings a wagon-load of fall horse happenings
across the Upper Midwest. Top equestrian
events on the books from Monday, October 26, through Sunday, November 1,
include Horse Soccer, the IASPHA Saddlebred Show, and the Winter
Barrel Blast. More area horse highlights for the week are barrel races, eventing
competitions, Halloween fun shows, a hunter-jumper show, reining competition, tack
sales, training clinics, and more.
Trot down this week’s lengthy list of exciting equestrian
events across the Upper Midwest. This roster, though perhaps not exhaustive,
includes as many Upper Midwestern horse highlights as possible for the
specified period. As always, equestrians, exhibitors, vendors, volunteers, and
other participants are wise to contact event hosts or organizers directly for
show bills, flyers, or additional information. Many of these equestrian events
may require advance sign-ups. And here's a reminder to set those clocks back and enjoy an extra hour of sleep between Saturday night and Sunday morning.
