When it’s Fall, it’s MANE EVENT

​

The Illinois State Fairgrounds has long-been considered one of the premier horse show facilities in the country and Mid-America Horse Show Association is pleased to host our 20th Anniversary Mane Event Horse Show at the Fairgrounds again this year.  Our schedule provides a full array of Performance, Pleasure, Equitation, Hackney and Road Horse classes.  Exhibitors competing for the annual Mid-America Series Championships will take their victory pass at this show.

 

As proud owner of The Good Hands program, Mid-America Horse Show Association will again host The Good Hands National Finals, officially sponsored by National Horseman Publishing, during Mane Event.  This championship is the first leg of the Triple Crown competition for junior exhibitors and completes the Triple Crown adult equitation riders’ competition.  For information on holding a Good Hands Junior Exhibitor qualifying class at your local show, click on The Good Hands Final.

 

Mane Event is proud to host  two special Roadster classes this year. 

• $70,000 Mid-America Roadster Challenge

• $50,000 Guccio Roadster Classic
