The “southwest edition” of the Rocky Mountain Horse Expo spreads out this September 19-21, stretching into every corner of the 20-acre Sky Ute Event Center in Ignacio, CO. So many clinicians are in the line-up, the event has added extra venues, and family fun has its very own “Junior Rodeo” arena. Shopping spills out from the indoor arena to a pleasant grassy area, complete with picnic tables. Horses for private treaty sales, breed presentations and stallion and mare demonstrations are stabled in comfortable box stalls in convenient barns located next to the heart of Horse Expo action.
Even the infield of the 5/8-mile track will be pressed into service for the Extreme Cowboy Race™, hosted by Craig Cameron. A test of skill, speed and nerve, the Extreme Cowboy Race™ is well known to RFD-TV audiences and popular with live crowds throughout the country. The legendary Cameron brings humor and wisdom to his race commentaries, giving audience and participants alike priceless insights they can incorporate into their own natural horsemanship.
As always, the speaker list represents the best veterinary, legislative and equine care knowledge in the industry. And this year, Friday’s Horse Expo welcomes student teams to show what they know, when they compete in an Future Farmers of America (FFA) regional horse judging competition.
