Special to RRSPIN
The show will be held – rain or shine – at the Halifax Livestock Center, 13763 NC
Hwy 903, in Halifax. Last year, we had the largest participation in the Tri-County
Horse Club Circuit. This year, Lenne Ward, president of the Enfield Lions, predicts
an even larger turnout.
Enfield was once the home of the largest one-day horse show in the nation. Beginning
in 1951 the show ran annually for more than 20 years. The Enfield Lions Club has revived
the tradition. Join us for a fun, all-breed, multi-discipline horse show.
Admission is free to the general public. There will be hot dogs, hamburgers, popcorn and
other goodies at the concession stand. The show starts at 10 a.m.
Back by popular demand: A Breyer Model Horse Show, one of our most popular events
last year, will be on display. All are invited to bring your collection of Breyer horse statues
to the show to enter into the model horse show. Don’t forget to fill out the “Judges Card”
for your favorite horse. Prizes, ribbons, trophies will be given. Saddle Up a Stick Horse:
A Stick Horse Show for children will be held during the mid-show break. Children can build
their very own stick horses at home and bring them to the show or they can create them
during the morning of the show at the Saddle Horse tent (supplies provided). Prizes will be given.
Participants/Riders can find entry forms online at the Tri-County Horse Show website
www.tchs.bravehost.com. Casey Armstrong, a board member of the North Carolina Horse
Council Foundation and resident of Enfield, is an adviser for this Lions event.
