Northwest Horse Fair & Expo 2010
Equine
Entertainment, Excitement, Education & Shopping!
Northwest
Horse Fair officials are proud to announce an exciting lineup of
activities and clinicians for the eleventh annual Northwest
Horse Fair and Expo, presented by SilverLite Trailers, March 19
through 21, 2010 at the Linn County Fair and “We’re
pleased to bring back the Extreme Mustang
Makeover to the Northwest Horse
Fair & Expo this year. It’s an exciting spectator event that
really tests the trainers’ abilities to tame wild mustangs in a very short
period of time!”, continued Mr. Cloe. Trainers will receive their wild
mustangs December 1, and have 90 days to train and prepare them for the Extreme
Mustang Makeover competition, organized by the Mustang Heritage
Foundation. In a total of 3
competitive classes at the Northwest Horse
Fair, trainers will compete for $10,000 in prize money, as they show
off their mustang’s conditioning, training and handling skills through a tough
course of obstacles. The contest culminates with the Finals, where the top
contestants showcase their horse’s best talents. “The crowds went wild for
last year’s winner, ‘Mustang Sally’, as she showed off her jumping skills
in the Finals, clearing 3 foot fences with ease!”, said Mr. Cloe. Following
the Finals, all horses will become available for adoption through competitive
bidding, on Sunday at the Northwest Horse
Fair and Expo. Trainers for the Extreme
Mustang Makeover are chosen from applications, due November 1 to the
Mustang Heritage Foundation. Costumes,
color and pageantry will highlight performances by the Silver Edge Theatrical
and Rodeo Drill Team, performing for the first time at the Northwest
Horse Fair and Expo. The Championship Northwest drill team features
fast pace drills with spectacular costumes and awe-inspiring music. Adding
to the fun for horse lovers, the
SilverLite Drill Team will present precision drills on horseback at the Expo,
while horses in the Breed Showcase and Stallion Review “strut
their stuff”, representing a wide array of horse breeds. “In
addition to the tremendous entertainment at the event, we have a great line-up
of world-class clinicians and trainers who will provide first-rate clinics and
demonstrations for the crowd’s enjoyment”, said Mr. Cloe. Daily clinics will
