🎃 Grundy County Saddle Club Hosts Costume Horse Show with Trunk-or-Treat Fun in Tracy City

The Grundy County Saddle Club is bringing Halloween spirit to the saddle this weekend with a festive horse show that combines traditional equestrian competition with family-friendly costume activities. The event reflects how outdoor recreation organizations across the Cumberland Plateau edge communities are weaving seasonal celebrations into their regular programming.

🎪 What’s Happening This Weekend

Grundy County Saddle Club will host its costume-themed horse show on Saturday, October 24, at 236 Fiery Gizzard Road in Tracy City. The day kicks off with two costume classes beginning at 1:30 p.m., followed by the regular show bill at 2:00 p.m. 🐴

The costume competition is open to all ages and offers two classes: one for riders in costume with a horse, and another for costumed participants without a horse. Entry is $5 per class, and all proceeds benefit the GCSC Youth Board and Committee. ✨

🍬 Trailer Treat: A Trunk-or-Treat Horse Edition

Running from 2:00 p.m. through the end of the horse show, a “Trailer Treat” event invites participants to decorate their horse trailers, set up tables, and hand out candy to children as they walk by. The concept adapts the popular trunk-or-treat format to the equestrian setting, creating a unique community gathering space where families can enjoy both the show and seasonal festivities. 🎁

💡 Why This Matters

Events like this strengthen youth engagement in equestrian programs while building community connections among horse enthusiasts and families in the valley. By directing costume class proceeds to the youth board and committee, Grundy County Saddle Club ensures that participation directly supports the next generation of riders and program development. 🌟
