Giddy-Up!

It isn’t often that most people have a chance to go to a Horse Show. This fundraiser is perfect for a group with a farming or animal husbandry focus. You will need to find an arena that is appropriate for a horse show. An indoor arena would allow for the show to be held year round in any weather. It will need to have an area for stabling the horses and for washing them. A warm up ring is also necessary. Charge an entry fee to each horse and rider. Have contests in agility, form, and jumping. Enlist the help of professional judges and award ribbons to the winners. Have an announcer describe what the horses and riders are doing, especially if your audience is made up of people who have never been to a horse show before. Also charge an entrance fee for the audience. Have a concession stand with food and drinks. Offer pony rides to the children and let everyone try their hand at roping a barrel.
