Georgia National Fairgrounds hosts 2022 Heart of Dixie Horse Show

Reining is a judged event designed to show the athletic ability of a ranch-type horse within a show arena.

PERRY, Ga. — The last day of the 2022 Heart of Dixie Horse Show happened Sunday at the Georgia National Fairgrounds Sutherland Arena. 

The event brought people from all over the southeast to Central Georgia. 

The Heart of Dixie Reining Horse Association is an affiliate of the National Reining Horse Association. Both groups are dedicated to the promotion of the sport of reining, a judged event designed to show the athletic ability of a ranch type horse within a show arena.  

At Sunday's competition, there were events for a number of reining maneuvers involving speed, how much control a rider had over their horse, how quickly a horse can stop, and much more.

The event welcomed people of all skill levels to the fairgrounds. The association's next show will be at the fairgrounds on Sept. 8-11.
