Spring Horse Shows   for 2007

Our Willowbrook Spring horse shows were created for beginner competitors who want to learn what horse shows are all about, and trainers who want to familiarize their riders with show competition in a more relaxed, beginner's atmosphere, but still have the variety and quality that more experienced riders demand. This will be our third year upcoming; our shows thus far have  produced much enthusiasm particularly among  inexperienced  competitors -- of all ages. For 2007 we will again offer four combined English, Halter, Western shows, and again this year will have Spring Show Series Awards.

Quality Shows for all levels ... but designed with the beginner in mind..
