Once again we will be featuring top notch clinicians, special presentations, workshops, trade show shopping and your chance to be up close and personal with first class horses and their owners and trainers. This is a family friendly expo and is always a perfect place to enjoy three days to be educationally entertained. Great for those who love horses, the horse owners and remember there is something for all ages!

The Northwest Horse Fair & Expo 2024 will be bringing back the super action packed COLT STARTING CHALLENGE USA!
Experienced horse trainers will be working with four young, unbroken horses, gentling and saddling and riding them in just three days! Using Natural Horsemanship methods each trainer will work with the colt they have drawn, all working in round pens, in the same arena. Each trainer will have an opportunity to explain to the spectators what they are, will be doing and the why.
During the Sunday event of the expo the colts will be ridden and compete through a challenging obstacle course. The winner will be announced at the end of the obstacle course. Come each day and watch your special choice progress through to the finals.
