Spring Grove horse show

45 years of history and horse shows

Welcome to the website for Spring Grove Horse Show. We host 6 open Horse Shows each year (open to all breeds) at the Spring Grove Horse Fair Park in Spring Grove, Illinois.

Spectator admission is free! Enjoy a picnic with the family in the country. Picnic tables are available outside, as well as under the covered pavilion. Concessions are provided by  Boy Scout Troop 459. Purchasing concessions from them supports their involvement in the community, as well as help fund their camping trip.

Our shows include: Hunter, Dressage, English/Western Performance, and a Fun Show.

Please come out to join us in 2009. Our shows are a lot of fun. We strive to provide the best atmosphere for all participants and spectators. Our ribbons and prizes are top-notch, our outdoor arena is beautifully kept and everyone always has a smile and is willing to lend a hand to make your experience positive. Bring your seasoned show horse or a green youngster—you are sure to have a great time.

Volunteers are always needed. Whether it is for one show or 6 shows, a few hours or all day, we have a lot of jobs for everyone! Plus, it is a great way to make friends in the horse community. No horse experience required—just a smile!

Spring Grove Horse Show is an Illinois not-for-profit.

Spring Grove Horse Fair’s current community support includes financial contributions to many community organizations including the Spring Grove Fire Protection District and the Spring Grove Police Department. We also work together with local youth organizations to develop fun and safe opportunities for service hours and/or fundraising at our horse shows.
