Fall gamankeppni show

Education, competition, community, fun

October 26-27


A WARM AND GRACIOUS KY WELCOME!
Welcome back to the beautiful oval and pace track at Jim and Marianne Welch ́s historic Locust Hill Farm, which is located at 11811 Covered Bridge Road (Hwy 329) in Prospect KY. The farm is conveniently close to hotels, shopping and eating. In partnership with Locust Hill, we are looking forward to reviving the old KY Show tradition of good instruction, competition, and fun.

Pre-Show Lessons with Laua Benson, Carrie & Terral Hill, and Mackenzie Durbin
Our goal is to support you through the entire process of competing. Whether you are a seasoned competitive rider or a newbie we are here to help! Contact us to sign up for a pre-competition tune up by texting Carrie at (502) 409-1924 to schedule.  

Simplified Fees
We will be charging a flat fee for participation of $130 per horse rider combo for the weekend (Bourbon T0lt, Leadline, and Old Hero Freestyle are free). You can participate in as many classes as is allowed per FEIF/USIHC rules for you and your horse.  We are willing to add special classes such as additional green horse or novice horse classes upon request.

We will not be renting stalls or providing official overnight accommodations for participants. Boarding may be arranged through Taktur or you may create your own electric fence or paneled paddock on-site. We may have some limited access to stalls and fields onsite. Trailering in and out is encouraged. Call Carrie ahead of time if you need assistance arranging accommodations for your horse.

Community Event
This will be a local community run event dependent on volunteers donating their time! If you want to support the event by volunteering let us know!

Will will host a riders meeting at Taktur Friday night at 6:00PM before the Freestyle Competition. This will be your opportunity to ask questions, and make any last minute schedule changes.
