About the Festival
The purpose of the
10th Annual UA Horse Festival
is to showcase the magnificence, versatility, athleticism
and abilities of the horse, as well as the many talented
horsemen and women who devote so much of their lives these
incredible animals. The festival benefits the D.E.
King Equine Program by providing our students with a
hands-on opportunity promoting multiple facets of the
equine industry. Additionally, the festival helps
raise funds for the pre-dominantly self funded program.
Last year we attracted 5,000 patrons, and expect to top
that number this year!
At the festival you will see
exciting performances, thrilling acts, inspiring
exhibitions and high speed drill teams, and that's all
just for starters! We are expanding our outdoor
activities, including plenty of fun for kids of all ages.
Some of this year’s Festival show skits have been recently
preformed in Branson, Missouri at Silver Dollar City.
We are proud to be able to
bring to NWA such notable personalities as Julie Goodnight,
Templton Thompson and Mark Peterson & Dusty.
As if that weren't already a great line-up, we get to
throw in the award winning Express
Clydesdale Hitch during this year’s Horse Festival!
Julie Goodnight has more than a quarter-century of horse
training experience. Her varied background ranges from dressage
and jumping to racing, reining, colt-starting, and wilderness
riding. She communicates clearly with horses
and riders in any discipline and travels coast-to-coast
and beyond to film her television show,
Horse Master, and to appear at horse expos, conferences and
clinics. Her training and teaching techniques are frequent
features of Horse & Rider,
Perfect Horse, The Trail Rider and many other
excellent equine publications and websites.
Community Support
Most of our exhibitors, performers and talent volunteer
their time and skills in order to support our event.
Additionally, many Equine Program Volunteers give of their
time and talents in order to make sure every aspect of the
festival is handled smoothly and efficiently. We are
grateful to the many individuals, families and businesses
who donate time, experience, talent, funding or products
towards this great fund raising event which is truly
enjoyed by so many people. To all who participate,
donate, work and patronize, we extend our sincerest
appreciation in helping us make the festival a truly
successful event!
