Westernaires Annual Horsecapades Fundraising Show

Historical battle reenactments. Astonishing trick riding. All performed by young people who have chosen the road less traveled. While others take up more common sports and activities, the youth of Westernaires work year round at honing skills that represent the best traditions of the American West.A Glimpse of the Past. A Vision of the Future.
