Also featured will be a Tack Swap where horse enthusiasts can buy, sell and/or trade new and gently used livestock or equestrian related items.
Vendor booths will be set up providing fun activities for children such as constructing western-themed book marks and refrigerator magnets. There will also be an interactive area featuring pony rides and a dummy roping area. Space is available for vendor booths and the tack swap.
