Open Horse Show at the Logan
County Fair
[August 04, 2025]
A lovely Saturday morning
greeted eventers and spectators at the Logan County Fair Open Horse
Show on August 2. An arena area was plowed in the field next to the
race track on the fairgrounds to create eventing space for horse and
rider to compete. Classes included Western Showmanship, Horse
Halter, Walk-Trot, Ranch Walk-Trot, Western Pleasure, Poles, Ranch
Pleasure, Barrels, Flags, and Plug. There was also a special class–
Walk and Favorite Gait– open only to Logan County residents. Classes
were organized by age of rider and later by age of horse. The Open
Horse Show superintendent was Julie McKinney with Ring Assistant
Gene Schmidt. The show was announced by Shirley Kavanaugh.
The Open Horse Show brought many gorgeous horses and bedazzled
Western shirts to the fairgrounds, but the crowd favorite had to be
the darling duo of little Renley on miniature horse Peaches.
Assisted by older, taller family members, Renley bounced and giggled
her way through the trots, poles, and barrels. It had to be just as
much fun to watch team Renley and Peaches as it was for them to
compete, unfazed by a lost boot or listing saddle. Congratulations
to all riders for a beautiful show!
