Equine Affaire brings four days of horses, shopping and entertainment to The Big E

Equine Affair begins this weekend at the Big E in West Springfield and 22 News reporter Gabriella Villas-Boas got to hang out with some of the horses today and hear from guests. That's right. The owner of Equine Affair tells us this weekend is going to be four days of all things horses. So if you and your kids like to spend time with animals or if you're in the market to buy or adopt a horse, this is the event for you. Equine Affair is in West Springfield this weekend at the Big E with lots of horse related activities for families to enjoy. The owner tells us guests can participate in educational programs, competitions, and entertainment. And visitors can do some shopping for equestrian equipment or merchandise. There were also lots of food vendors outside and lots of horses to spend time with inside. Well, if you like horses, think you might like horses, or want to learn more about horses, this is the place to be. We just have all kinds of fun with all types of horses, whether it's English, Western, driving, you name it, it should be here at Equine Affair. Bear. Some of the horses include the Cheval Canadien, an endangered breed that riders say depend on buyers buying them and enjoying them for survival. Guests can also see miniature horses like Biscuit. Or bigger horses like our new friend Titan. As you can see there are lots of horses here available for sale and adoption and if you want to come by just for some horse therapy they're also available just as pets. Coming out to buy them here it's a really awesome opportunity because there's such a big selection. You know there's something for everyone. We put our stall guards up here and let the nice snuggly ones hang out so if you want to just come and get some horse therapy it's a great option too. Some guests tell us that they come every year to Equine Affair, and that it has become a generational activity. I was coming for years and bought the kids, and now we're bringing the grandkids. They love going around the tables and seeing all the horses, and we usually meet up with a lot of friends up here. Guests can also look forward to a performance of Fantasia Thursday, Friday, and Saturday night with performers from all over the nation. Working for you, I'm Gabriella Villas-Boas, 22 News.
