The 17th Annual Big Thunder Draft Horse Show at the Ranch Events Complex in Loveland returns Friday, January 14 through Sunday, January 16, 2022. Showtimes are Friday at 5:30 pm, Saturday & Sunday at 1:00 pm.
The event draws competitors, including many hitches with National and World Champion status, from across the United States and Canada. Competitors bring a variety of draft horses including Clydesdales, Belgians, and Percherons. The competition is steep as hitches vie to accrue points in the North American Six Horse Hitch Classic Series. To hear the powerful sound of their hooves stomping through the arena is reason enough to experience this educational and entertaining show for the whole family.
All guests are given the opportunity to walk through the barns and see these massive, beautiful horses one hour before each performance. Additionally, Draft Horse University, an informational class session about the horses, will occur Saturday from 10 am to 11:30 am. The class will be interactive with general information on draft horses, harnessing and showing, and will have a format open to questions and answers. Tickets are $12 for admission to the Draft Horse University.
