Miniature Horse Fun Show – Shirley Odegaard Memorial Show
10am-5pm Sept. 7
in Outdoor Covered Arena #101
Miniature horses are a maximum height of 38 inches at the shoulder; and are a very versatile and lovable animal. At “Mini-Horse” Shows on September 7th, you will see halter, driving, jumping and the always popular, obstacle courses. In these, the mini-horse must back up through poles, go over bridges, pivot on one foot within a circle, side passing down a pole and other events. The owners showing may be as young as 3 and up to 70 years in age. They don’t have to be registered to come to this show, everyone is welcome!
Miniatures are used for physical and emotional therapy. They can be found in parades, at retirement homes, working with kids or just carting around the country for fun.
This is the annual Odegaard Memorial Show honoring Shirley Odegaard. For more information: www.pacificcrown.info
