Please Welcome Our Newest Member, Tri-County Horsemen!
Established in 1960, trail rides and weekend camping trips were the primary focus of the club; however, the club set their sights on visions of hosting local horse shows in the coming years. In September of 1961, the dream came to fruition and the Union Fair Grounds welcomed the club for their first ever horseshow. The use of the Union Fairgrounds came from the decision by the Fairground Trustees to expand the use of the grounds beyond the fair week.
Tri-County Horsemen seeks to promote a safe, fun, inclusive and empowering environment for riders of all levels and disciplines at every stage of their equestrian journey. Four shows on the schedule from June - September 2022.
Union Fairgrounds, Union, ME 04862 | 207-322-6145
