Midwest Horse Fair 2017

So, my fiance is a horse person.  Not quite one of “those” horse people, but a horse person, nonetheless.  So, for the past several years, we have gone to the Mad City to this giant horse event.  There are demonstrations, clinics, vendors, etc.  We’ve watched it devolve from a focused event on horses with many vendors showcasing saddles and such to a huge mess of vendors selling cheap “country” goods from gaudy purses and shirts to “cowboy” boots and hats.  It’s a goat-roper’s wet dream.  I took the opportunity to take some photos.  My favorite piece from this event was this shot of a blacksmith hard at work.
