Are pets allowed?
Pets of any kind are not allowed at the Western States Horse Expo and should not be left in unattended vehicles. Because of the festival setting with food & drink vendors and the large number of guests & horses in attendance- this policy is strictly enforced, and we ask you to please leave your pets at home.
Do you offer military, senior citizen, or other discounts?
We believe in making our event an equal opportunity for every guest. This means the only discount we offer is our pre order discount on General Admission tickets. You may pre order your tickets for a discounted rate until the day of the event. Please see our ticketing page for more information.
