🎭🐴 Sunday Afternoon at the Warrenton Pony Show = Fun, Learning & New Opportunities!
Join us Sunday afternoon for a special lineup of Virginia Horse Industry Board (VHIB) Outreach classes designed to introduce riders and handlers to new aspects of showing in a welcoming, educational environment.
✨ Open to ALL exhibitors:

📚 VHIB Outreach In-Hand & Showmanship Clinic - The clinic will include a discussion and demonstration on presenting your horse in unmounted classes, what judges look for, and tips to improve your performance both on the ground and in the saddle.
VHIB Outreach Classes:
🐴 In-Hand
🐴 In-Hand Pattern (with obstacles)
🏇Equitation Walk Pattern
🐎 Equitation Walk-Trot Pattern
🏇 Equitation Over Fences
🏇 Handy Equitation Over Fences (with obstacles similar to those found in the hunt field)
The VHIB Outreach classes are open to riders and handlers under 18 years of age who have not shown at a recognized horse show in Virginia (excluding IEA and 4-H competitions). If entries warrant each class may be split into riders 13-18 years of age and riders Under 13 years of age. A horse/pony may be shown in the same class by a maximum of three riders or handlers.
Whether you're looking to learn, gain experience, or simply have some fun, we encourage everyone to come participate and support this fantastic outreach program!
