Rawhide & Dusty Show
rawhide

Rawhide performs target work with the bullwhip both on and off of horseback and also demonstrates many different types of whip popping, all using a ten foot bullwhip. He also spends time before the event, meeting and greeting the crowd, and performing trick roping.

Rawhide has been working with Dusty for many years, he began training Dusty when the horse was only six months old. Now Dusty loves entertaining the crowd. He will shake his head "yes", take a bow, lie down, and will also rare up on his hind legs; all to the amazement of the crowd. After this entertainment, Rawhide and Dusty will lope around the arena, performing different whip popping techniques. While on horseback, Rawhide will jump Dusty onto the back of the truck, and then jump him onto the top of the trailer. Once on top of the trailer, Dusty will perform on a teeter-totter. While Dusty is on top of the trailer, Rawhide stands up on the saddle and cracks his whip. When the show culminates, Rawhide and Dusty ride out of the arena on top of the trailer.

Midwest Drill Team Challenge

This event is sponsored by Nutrena.

The Sport of Equestrian Mounted Drill is a unique and exhilarating performance of strategic routines bringing together grace and daring to the art of horsemanship. Precision maneuvers and intertwining over a dozen horses are carefully and skillfully choreographed to music which flows into a kaleidoscope of patterns. Each rider and horse must be in tune with one another. Movements are calculated to the very second, and the slightest touch to the horse by the rider must be responded to and executed with ease.

Drill Teams from Wisconsin , Illinois and Ohio take part in this exciting event.


Join us for the Talent Contest on Saturday
