Location: minnesota | Have any of you ever attended this? What's your opinion? Good, bad, mediocre? How's the shopping?
I was thinking of going this year but its a bit of a haul. |

| In my opinion, Midwest Horse Fair is MUCH better than the MN Horse Expo. I went a few years back and it was pretty awesome, went again two years ago and it was just okay only because they didn't have the greatest clinicians, at least ones that I was interested in. They probably have twice as many vendors plus the 4H tack swap is packed FULL of tack (good deals too) and the demonstrations they do were cool - can't remember any off hand but we had a blast! I would recommend it. |

| I have attended Midwest horse for the last 15 yrs. Go very early it gets packed by 10 in the morning. I love the vendors that offer presales, I can pick up most of my supplies for the year. They do have allot to offer. The shows are mostly the same but do have some good seminars. The 4H is packed and can get yourself killed first thing in the morning it like black Friday down there, they need to use more area as everything was piled on top of each other.

| It gets approximately 50,000 in attendance. Much better set up and facilities than Mn.

| I go every year! Love it! Nothing compared to Congress (one of my fav. places to shop) tehe but worth going! They have a good amount of shopping, some well known clinicians, and some neat demos! |

Location: Wisconsin | Good time for sure! But if you don't get there in the morning it gets packed and you're gonna be parking way in the back 40! The rodeo at night is worth the price as well, very good tiime. Lots and lots of shopping all day long! |
