Paperwork Check-In

All paperwork will be checked at the new gate leading to the horse show ring before any horses are allowed off the trailer. Please arrive early to allow enough time for the inspection and avoid feeling rushed.

Fair Week Reminders

Howard County Fair allows two people per horse to accompany each showing horse. Both individuals must arrive with the horse.
No non trailer vehicle parking is permitted at the show rings during Fair Week. Please plan to arrive early and, whenever possible, ride in the vehicle towing the trailer to avoid parking issues.
We do not control the fair entrance gates, so please allow extra travel time.
No dogs are allowed on the fairgrounds during Fair Week. Please leave them at home.
To help speed up the check-in process, completed health paperwork may be emailed to [email protected] by 5:00 PM on Wednesday, August 5.
Only cash or checks (made payable to HCF) will be accepted for payment.

🎉 THANK YOU to everyone who joined us for Sunday's Maryland Western Horse Association show! 🤠🐴

We truly appreciate all of our competitors, families, trainers, volunteers, and spectators for making it another fantastic day. Your support, great sportsmanship, and love for our association are what make MWHA such a fun place to show!

✨ Don't forget—MWHA isn't just about western! We also offer English Pleasure classes, so dust off those English tack sets, invite your barn friends, and come join us in the ring. We'd love to see even more English riders at our upcoming shows!

📅 Mark your calendars for our next show on Saturday, August 8! We can't wait to welcome everyone back for another great day of showing, cheering each other on, and making memories.

A special thank you to Martin Storm of Eyeofthestorm photography for capturing so many great moments from the show and sharing your talent with our exhibitors. We truly appreciate your continued support of MWHA! 📸

Thank you again for being part of the MWHA family. Safe travels, keep practicing, and we'll see you on August 8! 💙🐎
