Last year’s Equine Avenue has been replaced by this year’s World of Horses and the white ten has moved to the roadway between gates three and four, across from the basketball court.

PETTING ACE 16It’s still all about horses, with educational displays, demonstrations and, best of all, a chance to pat and pet the friendly animals inside, like Ace, a Percheron gelding shown here.

A new building dedicated to equine events is due for next year and State Fair Hound would love to see the World of Horses get a larger, better-equipped permanent location as part of the upgrade. The exhibit’s popularity with visitors merits first-class treatment.
