2012 Horse Extravaganza

Once again there will be one night of entertainment that is free and well worth your time to look into. During the fair on Wednesday night, everyone will have the rare opportunity to see some of the most beautiful and talented horses and riders in the MonDak region. I hope you take advantage of the free show. You will again have the chance to view draft teams, rare breeds, talented riding exhibitions and horses of every color and size.

We always start out with a flag presentation. We are blessed to have so many talented youth in our area, and many are in 4-H and Rodeo. We plan to do several different flag presentations this year. We will have our 4-H presenters and hopefully Rodeo Queen Jade Brunsvold will do a presentation as well as the Flag Presenters for the Rodeo.

We will be entertained by the Sheridan Silverados Equestrian Drill Team from Plentywood with 12 members who are coming to perform for us. We are very thrilled to have them. If you came last year, you saw a marvelous performance from them. Our home-town Drill Team is taking the year off to recruit new members. If you are interested in joining, call Peggy Ann Strupp at 488-1666. We hope to have Peggy Ann and her Appaloosa and Dalmatian Team perform for us again this year, as we missed them last year.

This year we hope to get a local group who is trying to gain interest in starting a Ranch Sorting group for competitions. There have already been some competitions and the interest is growing. Hopefully we can get them to come and put on a demonstration for everyone!

We hope to get the Curlys here this year as well as some Tennessee Walkers and Morgans. Also, some Missouri Fox Trotters have moved into the country and we will try to get them to come strut their stuff. We hope to see the Peruvian Passo and a Halflinger Team as well as some Shires and Clydesdales. We are still working on some Carting exhibitions and hopefully will have some Mules represented this year. We hope to have a Queen exhibition and will have several Duet performances. We were able to get Victoria Netzer to perform another show-stopper for us. She has been away at college and has placed in the top in the College Rodeo Finals.

You know, these guys spend a lot of time and money hauling from far away to bring you beauty and talent. Don’t disappoint them by not coming to see them!

As you can see, there is something for everyone! So, on Wednesday night, August 1st at 7:30 at the Richland County Fair Rodeo arena, come see this Free show. Anyone who would like to perform or show their breed is welcome! Contact Waynette Molloy at 406-488-5982 before August 1st.
