There will be other things going on in the South Complex area this weekend as well.
The North Dakota Equine Association is bringing their Cowboy Fall Festival back to the Mountrail County Fair Building on Saturday, Sept. 27 and Sunday, Sept. 28.
On Saturday, there will be an equine trail sports obstacle course and a youth ranch rodeo. Sunday will feature an equine trail sports in hand course and obstacle course, followed by a youth ShowDeO.
The two days offer something for all ages. For the youth, it includes the Youth Ranch Clinic and Rodeo on Saturday and the Showdeo on Sunday.
All ages are able to take the two days to test their horsemanship with the Equine Trail Sports obstacle courses. This is the competition where the rider choose their own ‘level’ at each obstacle for a great but doable challenge. There are in-hand and riding competitions.
Everyone is invited to come watch, cheer on the competitors, and shop at the vendor show.
There will be vendors and concessions both days, as well as pony rides and a kiddy play area.
Activities are set to run starting with registrations at 9 a.m. each day and events themselves at 10 a.m.
