2011 Horse Extravaganza

Once again there will be one night of entertainment that is FREE and well worth your time to attend. 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. This year our flags will be presented by Megan Greenwood, Jade Brunsvold and Somer Reidle. Jade has been busy with rodeo events and has been competing in Queen competitions. Somer had an unfortunate winter as she lost her best horse and friend, Red, but is coming back strong on her new horse. Both Somer and Jade are level six this year. Megan has healed up and is home from her first year in college and is joining us to perform again!

We will be entertained by a Drill team from Plentywood with 12 members who are coming to perform for us. We are very thrilled to have them. Our home town Drill team is taking the year off to recruit new members. If you are interested in joining call Peggy Ann Stoup at 488-1666.

We hope to get the Curlys here this year as well as some Tennessee Walkers and Morgans. We hope to see Rauschendorfers Peruvian Passo and Halfinger Ranch Team as well as some Shires and Clydesdale. We are still working on some Carting exhibitions and hopefully will have some Mules represented this year. Megan Greenwood will be riding Sidesaddle and doing a Reining exhibition which she says is a Surprise Performance. 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 3rd 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 are welcome! Contact Waynette Molloy at 406-488-5982 before August 3rd.

For anyone interested, the 4-H Horse Show will also be at the fairgrounds on Wednesday, August 3rd, beginning at 8 a.m. This will include over 20 youths doing showmanship, riding patterns, trail, driving, English and Western, English jumping and greenhorse. Ranch horse, Reining and speed events are on Saturday morning at the Sidney Saddle Club.
