Hi, my name is Anna Belval and I run the Saddle Horse Fun Show at the fair. I grew up riding in the fun shows at the Waterford World’s Fair and other similar events. As a child, I really enjoyed the gymkhana classes as well as the pair classes. The ribbon race and pony express, were two of my favorites. We try to offer something for everyone at our Saddle Horse Fun Show, including an equitation class and a variety of gymkhana games. 

Our show is the perfect place for new riders or experienced riders with young horses, to come dip their toes into a laid back show environment, and also a great place for experienced horses and riders to showcase their skills. We have three different divisions including Lead Line (any age but must be on a lead line), Youth (18yo and under) and Open (19yo and up). Each year we have 15-20 entries across the three divisions. With riders coming from various backgrounds, disciplines and skill levels. As well as horses of all sizes and breeds. Our riders are rewarded with ribbons and premiums for their efforts throughout the day, and prizes for the High Point Champions for each division are awarded at the end of the day. 

Not only is our show fun to participate in, but it’s also exciting to watch. You’ll have a front row seat watching riders and horses of all ages compete with speed, precision and teamwork. You can find our class list here. Sign up is available the day of our show at the Show Ring announcers booth. 

All riders will need proof of insurance and a current coggins certificate & rabies vaccine. If you have questions about our Saddle Horse Fun Show I would be happy to answer them.
