Equine Affaire's Fantasia: Fun, Fabulous & Affordable Entertainment!

 

London, OH, January 26, 2017— Equine Affaire returns to the Ohio Expo Center in Columbus on April 6-9, 2017, and brings with it a smorgasbord of horse-related educational, shopping and entertainment treats for horse lovers from all walks of equestrian life. Outstanding equine and equestrian acts from throughout the United States are slated to perform at Equine Affaire's popular musical celebration of the horse—the Fantasia—to create an evening of fabulous and affordable entertainment. The 2017 Fantasia will take place at 7:30pm on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday (April 6-8) in the Ohio Expo Center's coliseum and is made possible once again through the generous sponsorship of Absorbine^®.

 

As the entertainment cornerstone of Equine Affaire, the Fantasia showcases the beauty, diversity, talent, and spirit of horses of a great variety of breeds and provides the perfect ending to a busy day of activities at Equine Affaire.  With just the right mix of comedy, drama, action, stunning horses, and phenomenal horsemanship, the Fantasia has been one of the highlights of Equine Affaire in Columbus since the show was first introduced at Equine Affaire nearly 20 years ago.

 

What can Fantasia goers expect? To be entertained by many of the best equestrian performers and most memorable horses in the nation. "The 2017 Fantasia will feature the types of acts and breeds of horses that have delighted our audiences over the years including freestyle reining and dressage, driving, horses performing at liberty, garrocha, airs above the ground, and drill team performances," reported Eugenia Snyder, the President of Equine Affaire. "We're really excited to be able to once again feature two of the best liberty horse trainers and performers in the world—Guy McLean and Dan James—and also introduce several very special acts and performers that will be new to the Fantasia in Ohio."

 

The lineup of performers who will take the arena at the Fantasia will include the award-winning Young Guns Equestrian Drill Team, top dressage rider and equestrian entertainer Matt McLaughlin, master dressage and Lusitano trainer Vitor Silva, and the always popular Knights of Iceland. "There's a good chance that Bobby Kerr and his mustangs from Hico, TX, will steal the show this year," reported Eugenia Snyder, "We also have a special celebrity horsemanship 'competition' in the works featuring Julie Goodnight, Brandi Lyons, Dan James and other top riders. For anyone who loves horses, the 2017 Fantasia will tick all of the boxes from fun and funny to dramatic and moving and remind us once again why we find horses so enchanting."

 

To facilitate access to the coliseum for the 2017 Fantasia, the doors to the show will open 15 minutes earlier this year—at 6:45pm.  "The trade show buildings close at 7:00pm, so having the doors to the Fantasia open in advance of closing the trade show will give Fantasia goers the opportunity to easily move from one event building to another and allow more time for everyone to enter the coliseum, grab a snack, and find their seats before the show starts at 7:30," Eugenia explained.

 

Tickets for the Fantasia range from $14 to $25, and advance tickets are available online through March 30 at equineaffaire.com (where you may consult a seating chart and select your seats) or by calling Equine Affaire at (740) 845-0085 weekdays from 9:00am-5:00pm Eastern. Tickets ordered by March 22 will be sent through the mail; tickets ordered between March 22 and March 30 will be available for pickup at Will Call at the coliseum before the show. Any tickets not sold in advance will be available for purchase at the Information Booth in the Bricker Building beginning at 9:00am on Thursday, April 6.

Arizona Horses & Riders Apply Now for Horse Master with Julie Goodnight

Julie Goodnight brings her highly acclaimed RFD-TV show to White Stallion Ranch (http://www.WhiteStallion.com) in Tucson, Arizona February 28 - March 4, 2017. 

 

Applications—available at http://JulieGoodnight.com/apply—must be submitted online by Wednesday, January 25, 2017.

 

Eight horse and rider teams will be selected to work with Goodnight and be a part of Horse Master episodes produced for RFD-TV. The shooting site will be closed to viewers and auditors.

 

Each show taped will feature one horse/rider team in each episode, chosen from applicants that have a problematic or difficult horse and/or want to learn a new skill in order to succeed with their usually pleasant mount. Each episode will revolve around a human with a horse problem or a horse with a human who needs to keep learning to master their horsemanship skills.

 

Goodnight is looking for a broad representation of horses, people, disciplines, breeds and issues. She wants to know about your horse's history and your relationship. This is a chance to tell your story and to get help from a pro.

 

Goodnight will work with each selected horse then help the rider learn to carry out the new training and achieve the desired goals. Each selected cast member and horse is on set for two days during the shoot week.

 

More about the Ranch:

At White Stallion Ranch, the personal touch and hospitality of a traditional dude ranch is carefully blended with the service and amenities of a fine resort. The True family welcomes you to the ranch that has been their home for 50 years.

 

Reconnect with nature, family, friends and serenity. Ride through the unspoiled desert, rugged mountains and cactus that have brought Hollywood filmmakers to the ranch for over 70 years.

 

The views are always best from the saddle. With one of the largest privately owned herds in Arizona, they have the right horse for every guest—from first-time trailblazers to life-long riders. Guests are carefully matched with their horse for the duration of their stay. 

 

Comfort is never appreciated more than after an active day.  A glass of wine on the patio, an invigorating massage or relaxing soak in the hot tub, a healthy home-style dinner at sunset, and a good night's sleep on a premium pillow-top bed make your day complete.
