Equine Affaire offers horsepeople the opportunity to learn from the best, to explore new areas of the horse world, to see old friends and make new ones, to network, to communicate, to shop, to share, to discover, and to more fully appreciate the beauty, diversity, and talent of horses of all sizes, breeds, and disciplines. The event has something to offer to horse enthusiasts of all ages, all breed and sport persuasions, and all levels of expertise from the 4-H participant to the full-time professional. Because Equine Affaire has so much to offer, the event producers make the following suggestions for making the most of the Equine Affaire experience: Obtain an Equine Affaire Clinic & Seminar Schedule: A detailed listing of all clinics, seminars, and demonstrations offered in each venue during each of the three days of Equine Affaire is available by calling Equine Affaire at (740) 845-0085 or by consulting www.equineaffaire.com. Because there are four to five different sessions offered at any one time and there is no repetition within the overall Equine Affaire program, attendees have to make important choices about which sessions to attend. It is helpful to review the schedule in advance and develop a "plan of attack" for each day. If you're traveling with other folks to the show, you may wish to attend some sessions together and then split up to "cover" different sessions for one another. Plan to come early and stay latethere will be a lot to see each day! Make your hotel reservations well in advance. Special discounted rates are available at fourteen Equine Affaire Host Hotels, and rooms at these hotels may book fairly early. |
