About Wichita Extension Horse Committee
The Wichita Falls Horse Committee gives children and adults practical ways to learn about horses and horse keeping, while helping horse clubs across North Texas stay connected. Your support helps sustain education, competitions, public meetings, Equifest, and the No Bull No Bling Ranch Series, which is open to riders of all ages and abilities. It is a place where horse enthusiasts can find knowledge, community, and opportunities to participate.
Since 1983, the committee has connected regional horse clubs through public meetings, shared information, and recurring events. Its No Bull No Bling Ranch Series gives riders a chance to compete for points and buckle awards, while Equifest brings education, workshops, demonstrations, vendors, and an open breed show together for the horse community.
