TESTIMONIALS

We wish we could share with you all of the compliments we've received from attendees, exhibitors, and clinicians at each event. Here's just a sampling:

"I just wanted to comment on the past several years at Equine Affaire. In my wildest dreams I could not have hoped to meet so many professional horse trainers as I have met and actually rode with over the last 3 years at Ohio Equine Affaire. We have attended for the past 7 years, have bought a fully loaded horse trailer, and ridden with the best. I just wanted to thank you for those wonderful experiences."

—Evon Montgomery, attendee and Ride With The Best participant

"...the best educational opportunity for horsemen in the U.S. today."

“I love going to Equine Affaire because it is an opportunity for a great number of people to come together with their breeds and disciplines and to learn from each other. I think it is the best educational opportunity for horsemen in the U.S. today. At Equine Affaire I sit in on as many lectures and demonstrations as I can, because I’m there to learn, too.”

—John Lyons, clinician

“When it comes to event organization, horse-related presentations, and a complete balance of horse breeds and horsepeople, my hat is off to the Equine Affaire. Equine Affaire has reached the pinnacle in offering exactly what people in the horse industry need. Believe me when I say there is no comparison on where to go for the very best speakers, clinics, demonstrations, tack store participation and general horse information.”

—Richard Shrake, clinician

“The Affaire was so professionally managed and wonderfully publicized. You couldn't have had better clinicians. I thought it went great...Congratulations to all of you at the Equine Affaire…Thanks again for such a nice show! "

—Karen Brenner , Horse Paintings by Karen Brenner, exhibitor

“I had a wonderful time and my horse and I learned sooooo much! …I have a new dressage saddle and new event saddle,...a happier horse and an empty wallet! But I learned so much and you can't put a price on knowledge, right?! …It was a WONDERFUL weekend."

—Ivy Loftis, Ride With The Best participant

“I just wanted to thank you and EVERYONE on staff on behalf of the US Navy and US Marine Corps. We had a great time. Everyone was so wonderful! We were honored to have a place in your schedule.”

—Kathryn Meyer, US Marine Corp, Fantasia participant

“I just wanted to say thank you very much for all your help in placing my ad for the Pomona show.  I have received a good boost of client activity since then, and I would certainly like to advertise again next year."

—Lori Critchfield, DVM, Southland Equine
 Program Advertiser in CA

“ Equine Affaire produces horse fairs three times a year, in CA, OH and MA. And these are events worth traveling too, from wherever you live, if you need a little horsey vacation with acres and acres of shopping, tons of educational programs, entertainment and a chance to see some of the top trainers in the world. I always enjoy these shows."

—Julie Goodnight, clinician

“Thanks for the GREAT NEWS.  I am so excited about riding in one of Julie Goodnight's clinics.  We are planning to stay for the entire event…  I could hardly sleep the night my mom told me.  I am using the website to check out all the other instructors and I know that I am going to learn so much at the Equine Affaire."

—Gretchen Ross , Ride With The Best participant

“Thank you for letting us exhibit at Columbus this month. It was an honor to be a part of your show. We had a record show.”

—Tim Woodfin, Wood's Art Gallery, exhibitor in OH

“First, I would like to thank you and your staff for giving me the opportunity to appear at your Ohio event. I found the audiences to be exceptionally attentive and receptive and felt as though the event itself was the best one I have ever participated in because of its focus on education. As a life long teacher, it is my idea of a "perfect scenario.""

—Donna Snyder-Smith, clinician

"Your staff did a superb job in that Breed Pavillion and should be commended by your higher up's for it.  We're all looking forward to next year. "

—Barb Dubois, Breed Pavilion participant

“I am writing to thank you for inviting me to be a presenter at your event. I did three clinics on trick training horses…all three clinics were packed to capacity and people in the back were straining to see over the crowd ”

—Jan Sharp, Trick Horse Training, speaker

"I just wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed the Pomona show. This was my first Equine Affaire attended from setup to tear down, and compared to all of the other expos I've been to, this was a joy! Your staff was so professional and helpful. While I know we were only one of many sponsors and vendors, I felt like we could have been the only ones...Thanks so much for taking great care of us and giving us a wonderful show to exhibit at. We had record sales and a great crowd.

—Stacey Wigmore, Primedia Equine Group,
exhibitor in CA

"As I have said in the past, your events are my favorite. The Pomona event this year was especially inspiring as it seemed the selected clinicians that followed each other’s venues had similar mantras that complemented each other. Please extend my thanks to all those who make it happen at Equine Affaire."

—Sharon Camarillo , clinician
