The 7th Annual Enfield Lions Club Horse Show will be held Saturday starting at 9:30 a.m.

The show will be held – rain or shine – at the Halifax County Livestock Arena, Dog Pound Road, in Halifax.

Lenne Ward, president of the Enfield Lions, said, “The weather forecast is excellent, so we expect a large turnout.”

Enfield was once the home of the largest one-day horse show in the nation.

Beginning in 1951 the show ran annually for more than 20 years.

The Enfield Lions Club revived the tradition in 2012.  

The event has a reputation for being a fun, all-breed, multi-discipline horse show.

Admission is free to the general public.

There will be plenty of food, entertainment and horses.

The show starts at 9:30 a.m. and ends at 5 p.m.

Back by popular demand, the Lions will have an arts-and-crafts activity for the children.

They will decorate their own stick horses. The arts-and-crafts project will be followed by a Stick Horse Show held at half-time. Ribbons will be distributed.

Jennie Ward organized the event this year and Casey Armstrong, a board member of the North Carolina Horse Council Foundation and resident of Enfield, is an adviser for this Lions event and will oversee registration.

The Enfield Lions Club Horse Show is part of the Tri-County Horse Show circuit. Riders can sign up the day of the event.
