Description

Main-arena events will feature a parade of breeds and the center's volunteer musical horseback drill team. Midwest Renegades will entertain with vaulting and trick riding, and the Northern Illinois Outlaws will demonstrate cowboy mounted shooting. Visitors can also take horse-drawn and tractor-pulled hayrides through the autumn woods, tour the barn that once housed Kentucky Derby-winner Lucky Debonair, and learn about horse care, grooming and tack. Children can decorate paper hobbyhorses, take pony rides, and paint pumpkins or stop by the face-painting booth.

Event Cost: Free; fees for some activities

Event times: 11 a.m.-5 p.m.
