Michael Craghead, Fran Crumpler and Tom Sworm To Judge Mid-America Mane Event

Michael Craghead, Fran Crumpler and Tom Sworm will judge the 7th annual Mid-America Mane Event Show, October 22-25 at the Illinois State Fairgrounds in Springfield. The show is produced by Mid-America Horse Show Association, one of the largest ASHA charter clubs.

Mane Event is held at the Illinois State Fairgrounds Coliseum, widely recognized by the show horse community and others as the country’s best show facilities. Mane Event offers a full and complete schedule of classes for Saddlebreds (performance, park, pleasure), plus Roadster Horses (bike, under saddle), Hackney Ponies (harness, roadster, pleasure ponies – all wins earning triple points from USEF) and equitation (saddle seat, pleasure, adult, walk/trot).

Returning for the fifth year is the prestigious National Pleasure Equitation Olympics Finals. The Pleasure Olympics brings together riders from around the country who have qualified at local and regional shows to compete together for custom-designed trophies in three categories: 13 and Under, 14 through 17 and Adult.
