A little about Winning Weekends...
Winning Weekends Equine Events was started in the fall of 2004 by three long time horse show exhibitors, with the goal of producing something a little different: well run shows where exhibitors could have fun and win great awards and prizes.
Our first Horse Show Series took place in 2005, and was run as a benefit for a fellow horse owner who sustained injuries in an automobile accident. Through the generosity of sponsors and the many exhibitors who attended, we were able to present a check for $2700!
We have just completed our 7th annual Horse Show Series, and Winning Weekends continues to grow each and every year. Classes continue to see more and more entries and we add new events and awards all of the time. Over the years we have added several Championship classes, Team Tournaments, Best Junior Rider, Best Amateur Rider and Trainer Awards as well as our unique Show & Tell format. We are already busy making plans for 2012. Check back soon to see what we have in store for next year!
