Miniature Horses in Meadville

Meadville, PA- The Tri-State Miniature Horse Club of Northwest PA and Northeast Ohio is having their Annual Miniature Horse Show June 28th and 29th at the Crawford County Fairgrounds, Meadville PA.

The weekend will start with an American Miniature Horse Registry sanctioned show on Saturday and will end with an American Miniature Horse Association (AMHA) sanctioned show on Sunday. Each day will be full of classes that will allow exhibitors to show their horses and earn nationally recognized points. The classes include halter, performance and driving classes. The halter classes judge the horse’s confirmation while the performance and driving classes are judged on the horse’s (and handler’s) ability to maneuver through obstacles and pull a pleasure cart. Jumping gets exciting as the jumps are raised until a champion is placed; the miniatures really enjoy this one on one competition as the height builds and really put on a show with their handlers trying to catch their own breath.

The World’s finest and smallest horses (AMHA Horses must measure 34’’ and under) will compete in all of the classes vying for points to qualify to attend “THE WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS” held in Ft.Worth Texas later this fall.

What makes the miniature horse “the horse for everyone”? One of the attractions is that the very young and the not so young can handle and enjoy these horses without the fear of injury.

In addition to the above described classes, costume class will also be offered for the exhibitors. This class allows the exhibitors to put themselves and their horses in costume to compete for the top prize. Many exhibitors become very creative with this class and it becomes one of the spectator’s favorites. Come cheer your favorite on.

The show will be held rain or shine as there is an indoor facility. Stalls are available for the horses and showing off of the trailer is permitted. Spectators are welcomed. There will be camping hookups and food concessions on the grounds.
