MAHA SPRING FLING - March 22-24, 2019 in Winona, MN:

The MAHA (Minnesota Arabian Horse Association) Spring Fling Horse Show started over 25 years ago and was originally called the "Fuzzy Wuzzy" show. Since that time, it has evolved into one of the largest Arabian shows in the country. 

This is a great opportunity to see beautiful horses competing in a wide variety of divisions including Western Pleasure, Reining and Ranch Riding, to Hunter, English, and Driving horses. This show qualifies for the Region 10 Regional Championship Horse show as well as the U.S. & Canadian Nationals.

The show is held at the Minnesota Equestrian Center in Winona, Minn. This state-of-the-art facility is fully heated for the horses and people to enjoy three days of tough competition. The show begins at 8 a.m. on Friday, March 22 and ends on Sunday, March 24 at around 5 p.m.

The MAHA motto to "Give Back" to our exhibitors and spectators offers a hospitality table with beverages and snacks all day, as well as a catered free dinner on Friday night for everybody to enjoy a delicious meal.

There are 164 classes offered at the MAHA Spring Fling for you to watch and spectators are welcome and encouraged to visit the barns and the horses.

There is also a Silent Auction on Saturday benefiting the MAHA Youth. The items are varied and diverse and donations are always appreciated.

It amazes me how quickly we can feel ready for another equine event season! Even here in the Midwest with temperatures in the 'teens and glazing ice and wind it seems that no one is concerned with much except the beginning of horse activities. Of course, this includes trail riding, whether organized or just for fun, clinics, 4H activities, and horse shows either rated or for the pure joy of competition! Region XI is indeed gearing up for fun, and it is less than a month away!! Best wishes to all in their horse endeavors in 2019! We have lots to offer so please plan on joining us here in Region XI and enjoying yourself!
 
We also had some encouraging news about the progress on the coliseum at the IL State Fairgrounds!  Joe Khayyat, Non-Fair Events Manager wrote to Dave Waggoner with a summary of the construction plans for the Coliseum. The contractors "stand by their commitment to complete the project by July 20." He also states that there may still be some noise "or distraction, but we should be well beyond the demolition phase as well as the installation of the new roof at that point. They should be done with their heavy lifting and the use of most of their heavy equipment by then." He goes on to write, "I think you'll find the impact to be minimal...By the time your show comes around though, we should have worked out most of the kinks...sailing toward the finish line." We do know that parking by the Food -a- Rama will be affected as a construction trailer will be parked there until the job is done.
