Celebrated for nearly 20 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 Northwestern Stables lesson
program and other park stables showcase
their talents in a schooling show.
The horse show is fun for the entire
family - even if you don’t know a rider
participating! We will also have food and
fun raffle prizes.
Through riding lessons and other equine
related programs our students come to
understand responsibility, community,
compassion, and self esteem.
Come watch and cheer them on!
