GREENSBORO-The Hale County Riding Club will hold a horse show Saturday July 16 at 4 p.m. at the Lion’s Park Arena. The event will feature a variety of events and dun for people young and old.

Terry Johnson, President of the Hale County Riding Club, said there would be several events on the agenda.

“We will have several events in different classes,” Johnson said. “We will have pony classes, which is for the age group eight years old and younger, as well as the halter classes, which will include ponies. We will also have Western, English and gated events as well as Western pleasure classes.”

Johnson said racing events would also be on tap to go with the show events.

“There will also be events for rocking and rocking padded events,” Johnson said. “There should also be running events like barrel racing, poles and other running races.”

Some big names may also make their way to Lion’s Park Arena for the show. Johnson said past champions of local events and worldwide competition may participate in the show.

“Some of the horses in the events will be previous state champs,” Johnson said. “There is also the possibility of some world champions in the barrel racing events being there. We just look forward to a fun event for the kids and everyone else.”
