The largest gathering of trail riders in the history of the
world! The Trail Blazer Magazine Festival for Trail Riders will
be held near Phoenix, Arizona on February 29 – March 2,
2008. This first-ever event specifically for Trail Riders will
feature twenty internationally renowned speakers who will present
workshops and demonstrations designed for trail riding enthusiasts
This is the first and only national event that is dedicated
100% to the trail rider: all the speaker, all the demos, all
the displays, all the vendors, all trail riding all day. . Early
ticket sales show that riders will be coming from all over the
USA and around the world to attend. The Festival is being held
in a very unique venue. The old west town of Rawhide, in Chandler,
Arizona, is a theme park of its own accord. It is a totally
re-created western town with rides, buffalo and other animals,
costumed staff, and a steakhouse that is built from a century-old
original building. There are exceptional golf courses nearby
as well as all the attractions Arizona is famous for, and March
weather is usually sunny and warm. A special attraction will
be the “Battle of the Breeds,” where different breeds
of horses will compete to determine which breed is the Ultimate
Trail Horse. The entry price will include all workshops and
demonstrations, entertainment, and an indoor pavilion filled
with more than 300 booths for unlimited shopping. Prizes will
be given away hourly. For tickets or details visit www.trailblazerfestival.us
or call (928) 759-7045.
