Snack Stand - Food Concessions
Welcome Back...all y'all!
We will have a food concession "Snack Stand" at each of our horse shows. Volunteers from Western Saddle Club run the "Snack Stand" & Grill on the east side of the arena. Please show them your support! They will adjust their menu offerings for day or evening shows, which typically includes breakfast, lunch, snacks, and drink items. If there are some menu items you just have to have, meet up with them and discuss it.

The "Olden" Days
Blue Ribbon Horse Shows has been hosting Open All-Breed Horse Shows since 1972. It has always been a family event and as time has gone by our family has only grown. Technology wasn't even good back then, but the cowboys, cowgirls, and horses were, and boy did we have loads of fun!
