Mother Nature played a bit with the weather for the 40th
Minnesota Horse Expo, but we all survived. The breeds were there, the vendors,
the clinicians from far warmer places – all contributed to a much-appreciated
gathering of horse people and equine enthusiasts.
The MN Horse Expo worked with the State Fair to ensure this
unique Thursday through Saturday Expo would work with the hugely popular tack
swap, the PRCA rodeos, Saturday night vendor move out and extra heat. We
appreciate the good will and effort of all the exhibitors, some of whom came
from the snowy Dakotas or the wind whipped parts of Iowa, to be a part of our
event.
To our volunteers who put up and took down dressage rings,
round pens, and obstacle courses – we thank you. To the volunteers who staffed
the entry gates and the arena gates, sold the logo merchandise, welcoming the
veteran Expo goers and the newbies – couldn’t have done it without you. To the
Twin Cities media – thanks for helping get the word out. To the Expo staff who
work on this all year round, kudos on your planning and implementation. To the
Board of Directors, thanks for your direction and dedication. To the sponsors
and the MN Horse Council – appreciate your unflagging support.
And to you, the patrons of the Expo, who came and learned
and watched and wandered through the buildings stopping to shop or attend a
presentation or just gaze at the Parade of Breed horses as they gathered
outside the Coliseum, thank you for being there.
2023 dates for the 41st Minnesota Horse Expo are Friday
through Sunday, April 28-30. Please mark the calendar and start talking about
it. Your horses will know, and we thank you.
