As we go forward with our planning for the 2012 Minnesota Horse Expo, which happens to be the 30th anniversary of the Horse Expo, we’d like to get input from past Expo-goers. If you have a story/anecdote about an Expo experience – maybe a fond remembrance of those childhood trips to the Expo with your mom, or how the Expo helped launch your love of horses into full blown ownership or how you saw/me a clinician that influenced you…..we’d love to hear it. Send your memories and photos to Kathy@mnhorseexpo.org

Expo Board Presents $225,000 Check to Minnesota Horse Council On September 27, the Minnesota Horse Exposition Inc. presented a check to the Minnesota Horse Council representing the profits from the 2011 Minnesota Horse Expo. Vice President Darrell Mead is receiving the check in the amount of $225,000 from Expo President Glen Eaton. Since Horse Expo 1991, the Minnesota Horse Exposition has presented the Minnesota Horse Council over $3,400,000. All of these funds have gone into the equine industry in one way or another. The Expo Board of Directors and staff meet once a month to put the Expo together. At the event, over 200 volunteers add their efforts. The Minnesota Horse Expo is one of the largest Horse Council sponsored expos in the country. I think that speaks well for the equine industry of Minnesota. I want to thank all the Minnesota Horse Expo directors, staff, volunteers and MN State Fair staff for putting this together.
