Junior Horse Show Classic

Celebrating Horsemanship and Community

Every year, the Sonoma-Marin Agricultural Association hosts a day of fun for young equestrians of all levels to showcase their skills and connect with fellow riders.

Whether you’re a seasoned competitor or just starting out, this event celebrates the art of horsemanship and the important role horses play in our agricultural community. Everyone is welcome, and riders do not need to be members of 4-H or FFA to participate.

The day includes play and showmanship across Halter, Western, and English classes. It’s a wonderful opportunity for young riders to build confidence, practice sportsmanship, and be part of Sonoma County’s vibrant equestrian tradition.

A special thanks to the Petaluma Riding and Driving Club for allowing us use of their property, and all of our partners who make this event possible.
