The Minnesota Harvest Horse Show celebrates the hunter with Friday night’s featured event, the Purina Hunter Spectacular. This class traces its roots to the tradition of hunter competition with a course comprised of natural obstacles similar to what a rider would encounter on the hunt field. Look for natural looking, festively decorated jumps, well turned out and immaculately groomed horses and formally attired riders. The course presents technical challenges and options for the horse and rider teams. The Purina Harvest Hunter Spectacular is judged on the quality of the performance and way of going with an emphasis on style, brilliance and handiness.
$30,000 Nutrena Grand Prix of Minnesota
Saturday night’s featured event is the popular Nutrena Grand Prix of Minnesota. It doesn’t get any more exciting than this! Horse and rider teams compete over a challenging course of obstacles testing their ability to negotiate height and width with speed and accuracy. If more than one rider completes a clear round, an exciting jump-off against the clock determines the winner. The equestrian sports are the only Olympic sports where men and women compete against each other. Since 1992’s Grand Prix of Minnesota, the women lead the men in wins by eleven to six.
