EquiFest of Kansas: A Must-See Event for Horse Lovers

If you love horses, EquiFest of Kansas is the place to be! As the largest equine expo in the state, this annual event—now in its 28th year—brings top-tier shopping, delicious food trucks, world-renowned clinicians, and thrilling competitions to Salina, Kansas from March 21-23.

Exciting New Additions
This year, EquiFest is adding a special treat for collectors and model horse enthusiasts—the Breyer Midwest event! A show within a show, this new feature is sure to delight attendees of all ages.

Competitions & Clinics

Love competition? EquiFest has it all, including mounted shooting, draft races, team challenges, youth horse judging, a silversmith contest, and a farrier contest. Educational clinics and demos will cover everything from colt starting and trick riding to working equitation and mulemanship. Plus, don’t miss a special performance by the Fort Riley Commanding General’s Mounted Color Guard.

World-Class Lineup

EquiFest 2025 is bringing in Tik Maynard (winner of last year’s Road to the Horse), Ty Evans, Jay & Gena Henson, Liberty Cunningham, Daniel Dauphin, and Ifa Simmonds, who is offering personal fitness training for equestrians. Live cowboy music, interviews, and panel discussions will round out the entertainment.

Workshops & More
Workshops will feature bits & bitting, trail riding strategies, saddle club leadership tips, and advanced equine therapies from the Veterinary Health Center at Kansas State University. And for a meaningful close to the weekend, enjoy Cowboy Church, free coffee and donuts on Sunday morning.
