Details Announced!
Make plans now to “horse around” at the Northwest Horse Fair and Expo 2018, presented by Akins Trailers, March 23 through 25, 2018 at the Linn County Fair and Expo Center in Albany, Oregon. “We’re pleased to present the Northwest Horse Fair and Expo 2018, now in it’s 19th year in Albany! We have plans for another fine event, packed with horse fun, education and entertainment!” said John Cloe, Event Founder and Manager. “We’ll showcase world-class riders and horse trainers, engaging equine entertainment, breed demos, workshops, clinics and seminars, plus we offer shopping at the largest equine-related trade show in the Northwest!”
A diverse group of first-class clinicians from across the U.S., will deliver daily clinics, on topics of interest to all horsepeople, from amateurs to professionals. Josh Lyons of Lyons Legacy will headline the clinicians, presenting General Horsemanship clinics. Plus, expo attendees can anticipate presentations on a variety of disciplines, including: Debbie Riehl-Rodriguez featuring Dressage; Steve Rother presenting General Horsemanship; Elizabeth Graves conducting clinics for Naturally Gaited Horses; Julie Alonzo providing Working Equitation clinics; and Bonnie Davis offering Horse Camping. In addition, radio and on-line TV host of Speaking with Horses, Wayne Williams, will be on hand.
“We’re pleased to once again host a super event that we featured last year: the Mustang Adoption Challenge!” said Mr. Cloe. “This event features youth and adults working with mustangs acquired through a program run by the non-profit organization, Teens and Oregon Mustangs. Contestants have just three months to train their horses for a series of competitive events that you’ll see here at the Northwest Horse Fair and Expo 2018. And spectators have a chance to take a mustang home through the live auction held after the finals of the competition, on Sunday March 25!” For more information on the Mustang Adoption Challenge 2018, go to http://www.teensandoregonmustangs.org

A captivating line-up of entertainment is coming into focus for this year’s Northwest Horse Fair and Expo 2018.
