Kansas Horse Council produced the first EquiFest of Kansas equine expo in February 1998 in Wichita, KS. In 2016 the event moved to Topeka, KS and then in 2020, it moved again to Salina, KS where it currently remains. EquiFest of KS serves as the primary fundraiser for Kansas Horse Council, your representatives for the equine industry in Kansas.

​

EquiFest of KS welcomes approximately 15,000 attendees each year. What makes it so special? The variety! Here you’ll find all breeds and all disciplines represented throughout the competitions, demonstrations, and displayed exhibits. Catch educational and informative workshops, visit one on one with world-renowned clinicians, or enjoy stage entertainment of music, poetry, history, and storytelling. If you like a variety of food, check out several food trucks and concessions on site. Come to shop the wall-to-wall vendors in multiple locations offering something for everyone, from clothing, wild rags, belts, accessories, home décor, trucks, trailers, tractors, implements and so much more. Kids enjoy unique toys when they visit the Kids’ Corral. Meander through the stall barn and see up close anything from long-eared minis to gentle giants and the living history on display at a military encampment. Are you interested in the art of blacksmithing? Into the action of a Ranch Rodeo? Like some speed action? Enjoy the beauty of dancing horses? You’re sure to find these at EquiFest of KS each year!
