Horse Festival raises funds for equine program

Animal Science students Kendra Jones and Kari Werner carry American flags during the National Anthem at the opening of the 8th annual University of Arkansas Horse Festival March 31.

Tickets purchased by a record crowd at the annual University of Arkansas Horse Festival Saturday at the Pauline Whitaker Animal Science Center and the Dorothy E. King Equine Pavilion provided a major financial boost for the UA Equine Program. Gross receipts totalled over $20,000, director Nancy Jack said.

The festival began with Cowboy Trades Day displays by equine industry vendors, demonstrations of equine skills, a "meet the breeds show," and other outdoor exhibitions and activities.

Two indoor shows featured live entertainment, including The One Arm Bandit Gang, Boston Mountain Gunslingers, the Mounted Fury Medieval Exhibition and other events. Other events at the festival included carriage rides, performance by the Fayetteville Fiddle Choir and the Kids Corral, featuring story telling and campfire songs and a stick horse parade.
