The event will be at the Blue Mountain Reservation, on Welcher Avenue off Route 9 in Peekskill. 

Admission and parking are free and the show will go on rain or shine.

Horse show riders can fill out an online entry form. This is the only show in Westchester County with both English and Western riding classes. There are 28 Western classes with eight championships on Saturday, and 28 English classes with eight championships on Sunday. 

Riders from stables throughout the tri-state area participate in the show. Fair attractions include pony and hay rides, a country fair and craft market, bounce and slide rides for children, and a “Kountry Kitchen” offering home-baked goods, pumpkins, apples and mums.

In the food tent, Rotarians serve up burgers, hot dogs, chicken, sausage and peppers, fries, beverages, ice cream and pretzels. Breakfast is available for early-arrivers.

Other special attractions include live bands, demonstrations of Kung Fu and boxing, performances by Magical Margo, a pet parade and more.
