Midwest Charity Horse Show Jun 16-20 11am-7pm Illinois State Fairgrounds Coliseum 494-1215 Free

Fasten your harnesses. This horse show will capture your breath, even if your tastes toward horses are expressed in sentences such as, “They walk in parades,” rather than “I love them.” The display of animal beauty and grace is stunning, as is the skill displayed by old and young equestrians alike. Sit back in the stands and the announcer will inform you of the breed making its way to the Coliseum floor to compete and perform, including: American Saddlebred, Roadster, Morgan and Arabian Horse and Hackney pony.
