One of the State’s Most Unique Events Moves to New Home in September

After weather caused it to take a one-year hiatus in 2024, one of our most unique events is on the move in 2025. Our State Equestrian Competition will take place on Saturday, October 27, at Pura Vida Farm in Frankfort. 

The Competition gives riders from therapeutic and private riding organizations throughout the state an opportunity to come together and display their skills.

Athletes will once again compete in multiple disciplines, including English and Western Equitation, Dressage, Showmanship and Working Trails.

Activities get underway at 8:45 with Opening Ceremonies followed by the first competition class at 9 am. The public is welcome to attend and admission to the competition is free.
