Horse Festival benefits Equine Program

Abby Curlee, left, riding Cheyanns Cody, and Stacy Avery, riding Shimmer, both of the Northwest Arkansas Gaited Horse Club, demonstrate their horses' different gaits.
The Ozark Rounders thrill the crowd with their precision riding drills in one of four quadrilles staged during the annual Horse Festival. The Ozark Rounders serve as ambassadors for the Rodeo of the Ozarks in Springdale.

The Dorothy E. King Equine Program hosted the 7th annual University of Arkansas Horse Festival March 31 and April 1 at the Pauline Whitaker Animal Science Center.

The event showcased the vast variety of breeds, types and uses of horses, said Equine Program Director Nancy Jack. Nationally known equine clinicians, vendors, riding exhibitions, food and a silent auction were featured at the festival.
