America's Mustang Experience

Link to full article
Let’s celebrate the horses that are a part of our heritage. Let’s celebrate the spirit and the power of these majestic animals. Let's come together to discover who the American Mustangs are-where they are located, what they need as a breed and how we can all help to manage, care for and even have one for our own. The America’s Mustang Experience trailer is filled with videos and information about our mustangs and the public lands on which they live. The experience includes a Virtual Reality (VR) experience where you can stand face to face with wild mustangs to see, hear and experience their habits, both on-range and at off-range corrals and pastures.

Link to full article
Kansas Western Horseman’s Association better known across the state as KWHA is starting its 75th year. This Association is a Family oriented association, that encourages good sportsmanship and cooperation among the riding clubs of Kansas. Friendships have been fostered and built through many generations of families in this association. KWHA welcomes all riding clubs in the state with no breed requirement, only that western gear and attire are used. There are judged, race, pair, and team events held during the local shows with riders of all ages and skill levels competing in seven different age divisions. A year end show of champions is usually held on Labor Day weekend where everyone that wants to gather and compete can. KWHA is a great way to take an entire family out to enjoy their equine partner, friends, and have some fun all at an affordable cost. Come check out KWHA during their demonstrations in the arenas and meet some of their members at their booth in the Great Plains Manufacturing Convention Hall.
