The Midwest Charity Horse Show, to be held June 14-18, has announced that the show's prize list is now available on its website, www.midwestcharity.com, and hard copies will be in the mail soon. The entry deadline has been extended to May 16, 2016.
Midwest Charity’s panel of judges includes: Betsy Boone, Concord, North Carolina; Kelly Freeman, Oronoco, Minnesota; and Richard Harris, Somers, Connecticut. Midwest Charity is held at the Illinois State Fairgrounds Coliseum in Springfield.
The 75th annual Midwest Charity Horse Show will be held daily starting at an earlier morning time of 10:30 a.m., to 6:30 p.m. Performances are free and open to the public. One of the premier horse shows in the United States, Midwest Charity features American Saddlebred, Roadster, Morgan and Arabian horses, and Hackney ponies. Since its inception, Midwest Charity, an all-volunteer, non-subsidized organization, has donated its annual proceeds to a Springfield-area charity, and has selected Camp COCO as the beneficiary since 1988.
As tradition dictates, Midwest Charity will delight and entertain exhibitors with its legendary hospitality with nightly parties after the last class in barn 25Q, the famous “Party Barn.”
