The Fairmount Park Horse Show
Celebrated for over 15 years, the Fairmount Park Horse Show is held
in the spring each year at Northwestern Equestrian Facility. This
premier equestrian event provides an opportunity for horse
enthusiasts to watch students from NWS lesson program and other park
stables showcase their talents in a schooling show. Riders must
dress appropriately but do not need formal show attire.
The show is free and fun for the entire family even if you don't
know a rider that's participating! We have food, raffle prizes and
great silent auctions. Proceeds and donations from this fun-filled
event help sustain our lesson and community programs.
Sunday will also host retail merchants showcasing a variety of
unique items. Dotted across the 10 acres of parkland that is home to
NWS there will be something for everyone!
