There are over forty (49) types of animals that visitors will get to meet, in addition to the beautiful horses taking part in the Parade of Breeds. So far in the line up there are Fresians, the extremely rare Akhal Tekes, and Andalusian, Irish Sport Horses, Thoroughbreds and a Quarter Horse that does tricks. There will also be an opportunity following the Parade of Breeds, held at 1:00 p.m. sharp, to meet the horses and talk to their handlers.

In addition to the Parade of Breeds and ongoing guided tours of the petting zoo, there will be a silent auction and BBQ lunch served to raise money to help the rescue horses of the USERL.
