Hi everyone!
I hope this email finds you all well. We are busy behind the scenes for our active spring! If you’re on social media at all, you’ve likely seen club posts on all three of our upcoming events, but I wanted to run through all of them for the group.
March 23 – A Day with Horses at the Illinois State Fairgrounds – FREE ADMISSION
This centers around microchipping for horses. If you’d like to haul in your horse and have it microchipped, it is $45. We do have stalls available at $50 each if you need to spend more time. The stalls are only available from Friday evening until 10pm on Saturday. If you’d like to reserve a stall, please let me know as we only have access to one barn. Plenty of stalls are available at this time.
A saddle fitting demo will run in the Livestock Center from 10 am until roughly 4 pm. We have all club members participating, which is great.
At the same time, a tack sale will also be running around the arena. It is FREE to set up to sell tack. Just give me a heads up that you plan to bring items. They just need to be horse related, but I might give on that if you really want to come sell something else. A braiding clinic will run around 2pm, and other demos will be held throughout the day.
We’ll also have a little set up for Meet An Arabian Horse, so be sure to pass details of the event on to everyone you know! I’ve attached the event flyer in both a PDF format and an image. If you’re feeling motivated, print a few and drop them off at your local farm stores, tack stores, barns, whatever. We’d appreciate it!
