The Missouri Equine Council is proud to announce that the 21st
annual Equine Celebration was a huge success. The council hosted
over 1500 guests with a fun filled, education packed weekend at
the Boone County Fairgrounds in Columbia, MO.
The weekend kicked off with Kerry Kuhn. Kerry is a professional
clinician from Kansas, he practices ‘Practical Horsemanship’ and
has been seen on Best of America by Horseback on RFD-TV. Kerry
brought in a huge crowd and worked with riders to help them ride
better by understanding their horse.
The MEC was honored to have a number of presenters that
represented a wide variety of disciplines from the equine
industry. The Show Me Mounted Shooters gave the crowd quite the
show with their demonstration of a mounted shooting event.
Sharon Clark gave pointers on barrel racing and Rawhide and
Dusty entertained with exciting horse, rope and whip tricks. All
of the presenters were outstanding and truly appreciated. For a
complete list of our presenters, please go to

Each evening came to a close with the Ultimate Equestrian
Challenge brought to you by MFA, Inc. Steven Lantvit, Mike
Rogers, and Jeff Woodberry kept the crowd on the edge of their
seats as they showed their training skills by taking a horse and
training it to be under saddle, followed by an obstacle course
for each rider. Jeff Woodberry took the title for 2010. Jeff is
a trainer from Eugene, MO that is not only skilled as a trainer
but also as a saddle maker. Jeff owns and operates his leather
shop at his home and also trains horses for riding and will work
with problem horses. He showed off his years of experience as he
worked with his mare and made amazing progress in a short amount
of time.
The Missouri Equine Council would not have been able to have a
successful event without a number of people including the
vendors, volunteers and the board. A special thanks goes out to
our sponsors, Missouri Hay and Straw, Tractor Supply Company,
Horsin’ Around, MFA, Inc., and UMC-CVM.
The Missouri Equine Council is currently working on the schedule
for 2011. The dates are set for January 21-23 at the Boone
County Fairground, Columbia, MO. The event will be held for
three days, have an additional arena and will be bigger and
better than ever!
