Sacramento, CA – June 15, 2012 – The 2012 Western States Horse Expo was a huge success for Horse Expo Events, welcoming a large crowd June 8-10, 2012 at the Cal Expo Fairgrounds in Sacramento, CA. The guests gathered to watch Corey Cushing show Kevin & Sydney Knight’s Smart Boons to victory in the Magnificent Seven All Around Stock Horse Championship, while Jenny Sherbo took top honors in Project Cowgirl. There was food, clinics, and shopping for all equestrian enthusiasts, and everyone had a wonderful time at the annual event.

“It was so busy and everyone was having so much fun; it was really exciting,” stated Western States Horse Expo President Miki Nelsen. “We had the largest crowd for the Magnificent 7 that we’ve had in years, and there were over 2,000 people in the stands for the horse sales. Bikers Against Child Abuse had a booth for the weekend and people were so excited to learn about the organization and they did a great job raising money for the charity. All of the clinics were well attended; the book corral and the horse expo university were all big hits. It was a huge success and it was very exciting to see everyone enjoying themselves.”
