• To educate the horse-owning public and horse-loving public through a myriad of events.
• Establish an event in April.
• Use any profits to fund projects of the Iowa Horse Council that would benefit equines and their owners.

Since the first Iowa Horse Fair in 1984, this annual event has grown by leaps and bounds.  However, the purpose remains the same - educate, entertain, and provide active support for the equine-owning, equine-loving people of Iowa - through the efforts of a dedicated group of volunteers. 

While many horse fairs are produced by paid professionals, the Iowa Horse Fair is planned and conducted primarily by volunteers.

We would like to thank all of our speakers, demonstrators, clinicians, sponsors, vendors, exhibitors, advertisers, and volunteers who help to make the Iowa Horse Fair a success.
