Horse Club Releases Dates for Shows and Chicken BBQ

Huntingdon Horsemen has been serving local equestrians since the early 1950s.

Annually the club hosts four monthly shows. These shows have a variety of classes ranging from English flat classes, jumping classes, Western Pleasure, Ranch, Halter, Clover Leaf Barrel Race, 50 Yard Dash, and Keyhole.

The dates for the 2024 horse show and chicken barbecue will be May 26, June 30, July 28, and August 25.

Each show starts at 8 a.m. sharp. These shows and chicken BBQ are open to the public. There is free parking and free admission.

In 2023 Huntingdon Horsemen’s May show had 388 entries, the June show had 365 entries, the July show had 346, and the August show had 375. During the shows they have a concession stand and bleachers to sit in to watch the horse and rider teams compete. Every show is paired with an incredible chicken BBQ.

“Every member of our club works hard and strives to better our shows and grounds for our competitors and visitors,” Jenn Monroe, club Secretary said. “Huntingdon Horsemen has an incredible team of men that work over the chicken pits to serve a delicious chicken BBQ.”

This year the club has invited Tropic-O Ice to set up at each show, serving delicious, shaved ice.

These shows are a great opportunity for riders to practice in a competitive setting without the pressure from the pointed shows.

They also provide a family friendly atmosphere for the public to enjoy watching a horse show. At the end of the year members of the club get together for an end of the year banquet to celebrate wins and fellowship.

Huntingdon Horsemen looks forward to another year of running shows on the beautiful Isenburg-Hughes Memorial Show Ground.
