Join us in Des Moines on Labor Day Weekend for the Iowa Fall Society Horse Extravaganza! This is a true society horse show bringing together breeders, exhibitors, and trainers of all levels from academy riders in the first year of competition to the futurity veterans of all breeds. This is the home of the American Saddlebred Futurity of Iowa which is now open to Half-Saddlebreds! This is also a qualifier for Arabian Region 11 and Arabian US Nationals! Comments from past years have told us that everyone loves seeing the different breeds and learning what we each have to offer. We encourage you to participate in the experience.
