Spring is starting, and equestrians across the country are
prepping for show season. To thousands of equine enthusiasts in the central
upper states, the annual Midwest Horse Fair represents the unofficial start of
the warm-weather riding season.
Sure, it sometimes snows at the fair, but Midwestern
equestrians tend to be a hardy bunch, no matter what the temperature may be.
Before you pack for the Midwest Horse Fair this year, why not
