Equine Affaire

Equine Affaire, held from November 12-15, 2026, in West Springfield, United States, is recognized as North America's premier equine exposition and the largest horse-related trade show in the East. Organized by Equine Affaire, Inc. Trade Show Organizing Team, the event's core mission is to produce gatherings that improve the horse management, training, and riding skills of equestrians. This event, which occurs two times annually and is open to both the public and professionals, serves as a vital platform for the equine community.

The trade show features a diverse array of products and services from around 350 exhibitors (past events), including nutritional products, livestock items, horse trailers, photography services, chocolates, and insurance. Exhibitors showcase equine products, tack, feed, supplements, stable equipment, and various equine services. This provides an opportunity for exhibitors to connect with horse industry professionals such as trainers, breeders, farm owners, veterinarians, and product buyers, fostering networking and distribution partnerships.

Attracting approximately 30,000 visitors (past events), including over 33,000 equestrians in 2024, Equine Affaire targets a broad audience from horse owners, trainers, and breeders to veterinarians, riding instructors, and product manufacturers. The event caters to all breeds and equestrian disciplines, offering concurrent programs like an extensive Educational Program (over 150 unique clinics, seminars, and demonstrations in 2025), Fantasia, a Breed Pavilion, and various competitions. It takes place at the Eastern States Exposition Center, utilizing all available rental space, including 800 horse stalls and the Coliseum with its 5,000-seat arena.
