Midwest Horse Fair

press release: Midwest Horse Fair returns April 14, 15 & 16, 2023 — and we're already deep in planning. Join us! Make 2023 the year you bring your horse to the Midwest Horse, whether you're a veteran fairgoer or first-time attendee.
Our evening PRCA Rodeo shows on Friday and Saturday are studded with amazing entertainers to keep everyone on the edge of their seats between rodeo events. These entertainers will also be performing at arena events throughout the weekend. This year we're welcoming family-run hitch Broken Spoke Clydesdales, jaw-dropping trick riders Piper Yule and Haley Proctor, and rodeo clown (and fan favorite) John Harrison. We're also pleased to be bringing back the one and only John Payne, aka the One Arm Bandit!
We've got quite a lineup of celebrity horses coming to the 2023 Midwest Horse Fair!Dan James of Double Dan Horsemanship is bringing five of his star equines: Swampy; JP Zensational, aka Apple Jack; Spider Pig; Vanilla Ice; and Vegemite. On top of industry awards, championships and photo-shoots, all five made their screen debuts on the acclaimed CBC television drama, "Heartland."
In addition, Melissa Ashcraft, Trainer of Majestic Friesians is bringing Dolci Vita and Nitrous, movie stars in their own right after appearing in "Albion the Enchanted Stallion." Both Friesians braved the elements of Bulgaria and Florida to star in this fantasy adventure movie! Nitrous was later chosen to be the limited-edition Breyer Horse model for the black stallion character in the film, Dag Dia.
