Calendar
The list may take a minute or so to load. There are a lot of events!
Just in time for your show season! Please join for an educational seminar on Safety and Preparation for Horse Shows.
Chris Wickliffe, DVM, will explain the importance of being prepared and safe during your horse shows, and how to ensure a good experience for both rider and horse.
Look forward to learning:
- Things you can do to ensure your horse will be protected against diseases
- Precautions you can take to avoid injury to your horse with travel and exercise
- A mental check list of all things you should be checking and preparing before travel
- Much more!
This seminar is not limited to those in more competitive show rings! It offers valuable information to anyone who takes trip with their horses (trail riding, camping, OHSET, 4H)
** They are offering FREE admission to members of OHSET and 4H! **
Dinner will be provided, courtesy of Boehringer Ingelheim
Can’t wait to see you there!
If anyone is interested in volunteering for western heritage day at Hardin-Simmons, they are looking for people to show kids how to rope (like 1st graders). In the past HSU students who don’t know how to rope have helped but they’d love to have “real cowgirls/boys” come to show how it’s done.
It is Thursday April 25th 8 am- noon. Over 2000 kids are already signed up.
Other western things to show the kids are also open for suggestion. The six white horses will have a farrier working on them for one of the stations.
** Info copied from host’s event page. Contact host at the number below for more details.

The Friday Night Glow is full of joy and amazement for the entire family: brilliantly-colored balloons tower over the crowd, lighting up the night sky.
Half a dozen balloons participate in one of the Festival’s most popular events, the Night Glow on Friday only at dusk, weather permitting. Balloon pilots and crews set up the colorful fabric envelopes in open area on the east side of Timber-Linn Park, inflate them with hot air while tethered to the ground, and illuminate them in a series of patterns.
Please understand that weather makes a big difference on how the timing of the Night Glow will go. Depending on wind, the balloons might not be able to inflate for very long. Usually luck out and the winds cooperate but it is in mother natures hands.
Seating area opens at 1pm to put blankets and chairs down.
Please note: The night glow happens on Friday night only. (weather permitting)
