455 E. FARVER ST.

SHIPSHEWANA, IN 46565

Previously, The Ohio State Fair Draft Horse and Pony Show, we have moved to the MEC under the new name Ohio Draft Horse Show. We weren’t about to let our exhibitors down another year due to the cancellation of the State Fair, so here we are! We hope this move helps to promote the Draft Horse breeds, breeders and exhibitors during these unusual times! 

We are known for the size and quality of our “Governor’s Cup” all breed 6-horse hitch class. Our last Governor’s Cup hosted 30, 6-horse hitches! We hope to be able to bring the same magnitude to Shipshewana this year! 

We will have Classic Series 6-horse hitch classes Thursday night at 5pm, Friday night at 5pm, and end our show Saturday night with the Governor’s Cup at 5pm.

Come on out to this 4-day event and see some of the best Draft Horse, Haflinger, and Draft Pony hitches in the country compete for some major points!
