"It's a fun family outing to learn about the world of horse sports and different breeds out there," said Pierce Horse Science Instructor Nicole Land.

The activities include crafts, horse stick races, roping—are you faster than a horse?

Participants doing demos are barrel racers, jumpers, Reiners, drill teams, charro ropers. A Reiner coming is a Million Dollar Challenge finalist. The Finale is the Parade of Breeds It is a succession of different breeds from Quarter horses and Percherons to minis, that are paraded through the arena while people guess the breed &/or color. Then the horses come back through as we tell the audience the history of the breed.

The horse community has come together to support Pierce College Equine Science Program, bringing horses and doing horse sport demos. The return of the Parade of Breeds is happening this year after several years’ hiatus due to COVID. The Parade of Breeds horse expo is organized and managed by the ANML SC 640 Show Organization & Management class with the assistance of all the Equine Science Classes and Boots & Saddles Club.
