Celebrating 20 years of Equine Conservation!

The conservation nonprofit Equus Survival Trust is hosting its 3rd Festivale of Endangered Equines, a 4-day unique endangered breeds educational event and competition, June 27th-30th at the Virginia Horse Center in Lexington, VIRGINIA

SATURDAY, June 29th is general public free admission day and includes Festivale activities that include the Rare-Steeds™ Breed Pavilion, demos, youth activities (RSVP for youth), and breed booths and some very unusual competition, the Stewardship Awards of North America (SANA) with a full array of classes that promise to be educational as well as competitive.

The Festivale will focus on raising public awareness and encourage networking among breeders and their associations.
