Join us for a day of fun, friendship, and community spirit—no show clothes required! 

Our Junior Leadership Committee is proud to host this year’s SMHJA Fun Event on Friday, August 9th from 11:00 AM to 3:00 PM at Nathanael Greene Park, 2400 S Scenic Ave, Springfield, MO 65807. Meet us at the Main Pavilion!

This laid-back summer gathering is all about celebrating our riders, families, and supporters with games, snacks, and good company. Whether you're a long-time member or brand new to SMHJA, you're invited!

Bring a blanket or lawn chair, enjoy the sunshine, and spend time with the people who make our community so special. This is a family-friendly event—no horses needed—and a great chance to connect outside the show ring.

Please RSVP so we can plan accordingly!

We can’t wait to see you there! 💚🐴
