TWO SHOW BUCKLE SERIES

• A Division for EVERYONE with Great Weekend Prizes & Series Buckles in EVERY DIVISION
•  Shows to be held at the Schaghticoke Fairgrounds with Multiple Arenas/Warm Up Areas,
• FULL RV Hook Ups & Ample Stalls
•  A Learn, Grow & Show Environment. Shows are ONE DAY only– minimal time commitment. Saturday will be a CLINIC hosted by the Sunday judge.
