Our chapter members are the founders of the newest horse show in the state, the Summer Fun Horse Show. The show is held at the Florida State Fairgrounds, June 18-20, 2009. It is our 4th year, and the show is designed to give all Chapter 16 a local place to show during the summer. The show boasts a full roster for American Saddlebreds and Morgan horses with many open breed classes.
