The Ninth Annual Big Thunder Draft Horse Show, at Ranch-Way Feeds Indoor Arena at The Ranch in Loveland, has been announced for Friday, January 13 through Sunday, January 15, 2012.  The event draws National and Local competitors, from as far as Canada, and as close as Northern Colorado.

The show will feature fourteen of the finest hitches in the United States and Canada. National and Local competitors, bring with them a variety of draft horses including Clydesdales, Belgians, Shires and Percherons, to compete in front of a world class judge and accrue points in the North American Six Horse Hitch Classic Series.

This is a show for the young and old alike.  These “gentle giants”� were a staple in the early days for farming our soils and transporting settlers across the West.  To hear the powerful sound of their hooves stomping through the arena is reason enough to experience this educational and entertaining show for the whole family.  

Back again this year is the official Perkins kick off dinner, held at the Perkins Restaurant off Crossroads Boulevard Friday, January 13 prior to the show. To reserve your table for the official Kick Off Dinner call 970-685-4082 and tell them you are attending the Draft Horse Show for special menu and discounted pricing!
