MARCH/APRIL 2012 THE RIDER /79 Everything Equine Expo and Trade Show 2012
“Leave Your Bull at Home and Come see Ours!” By Margaret Langlands Mark Saturday, June 16, 2012 on your calendar. The Uxbridge Horsemen’s Association is once again presenting the 8th Annual Everything Equine Expo and Trade Show. This year’s Main Ring headliner will be “Bulls & Barrels” – a live Rodeo event featur- ing bull riding, barrel rac- ing, precision riding, cow- boy Clowns and much more.

For the kids Breyer Horses will be back this year with
“Paint Your Pony” for the kids, sponsored by the Uxbridge Horsemen’s Association and All About Equine tack shop in Uxbridge. Pony rides will also be available during the day to round out the expe- rience!
