Over 8,000 entries for the week, all new arena footing, a new and improved schedule, and shorter show days were just a few of the benefits of attending the 2014 Iowa Show Circuit.
The Iowa Show Circuit kicked off with a Special Event Trail and Western Pleasure show on Saturday, May 31st with good numbers. The day’s largest class was Senior Trail with 42 entries.
On Sunday, June 1st, we held our first All Novice Show with over 300 entries and ended the day with a pizza party provided by our Hospitality Sponsors. Also on Sunday, Kelly McDowall conducted a walk through novice trail clinic and showmanship clinic, and Russell Mueller from Progressive Nutrition presented a nutritional demonstration.
