Bluebonnet Horse Expo Moving To Williamson County  

Bluebonnet Equine Humane Society is moving its Bluebonnet Horse Expo to the Williamson County Expo Center in Taylor, Texas.

This is the 13th Bluebonnet Horse Expo and the first time the event will be held outside Travis County.  “We’re excited to be moving to the new facility.  Williamson County provides two covered arenas and room for a covered round pen, so all of our events will be covered.  Plus there is a climate controlled vendor area and plenty of room to grow.  We’re looking forward to filling the facility with horse lovers” says Bluebonnet’s Executive Director Dr. Jennifer Williams.

The Bluebonnet Horse Expo is a day-long educational, adoption, and fundraising event for Bluebonnet Equine Humane Society – and it includes something for all horse lovers and enthusiasts!

Equine professionals will be educating attendees on topics ranging from horse health to horse handling and training.  Vendors will sell horse related goods, home décor, books, and more.  A silent auction will feature horse/farm/ranch/western-themed jewelry, clothing, and home décor while the Bluebonnet Art Show and Sale will offer original works of art for sale to attendees.  The event also includes a live auction of saddles and other tack, a used tack sale, and 50-60 horses for adoption.

The Bluebonnet Horse Expo includes the Bluebonnet Rescue Horse Training Challenge.  At the Challenge, professional trainers and non-professional horseman and horsewomen compete over an obstacle course and show off their horses’ skills in a freestyle competition.  Before the competition, professional trainers have four months to start BEHS horses under saddle or work through behavioral problems while non-professionals work with a horse for four months who was previously trained to ride or work with a horse on the ground.  The Challenge horses are available for adoption at the event.

The event will be Saturday, October 19th from 9am to 7pm.  Approximately sixty Bluebonnet horses will be on hand to meet the public, and the horses will be available for adoption to approved homes.

Bluebonnet Equine Humane Society is a non- profit organization that helps rescue horses, ponies, and donkeys from negligent and abusive owners.  Not only is the event educational, but all funds raised at the event help Bluebonnet Equine Humane Society alleviate the suffering of horses throughout Texas.

There are still sponsorship and vendor opportunities available, and the organization needs donations of horse equipment and farm/ranch/western themed art-work, jewelry, and home décor for the live auction, art show, silent auction, and sale area.  All donations are tax deductible.
