Vermont Morgan Heritage Days

The show committee would like to give a huge thank you to Katie Demingware for the generous prize donation for our games classes! The kids (and kids at heart!) had a blast with their costumes and the relay! Also thank you to Blackrose who had sponsored & organized the trail game but sadly were unable to make happen with the soggy warm up arena. Thank you!!

We wanted to share some photos from our 2024 horse show taken by our staff as well as our exhibitors and spectators. We are looking forward to 2025!

That’s a wrap! The Vermont Heritage Days Horse show wants to thank all of our Vermont and New York horse community for attending our horse show with special thanks to our judges, exhibitors, vendors, and especially volunteers for their support. We had a brilliant and diverse turnout of horses ridden by many first time Heritage Days exhibitors as well as some exciting new divisions. We look forward to seeing our Vermont Heritage Days Horse Show community continue to grow in 2025.
