Scenic Fox Lea Farms in Venice, Florida, will play host to a brand new two-day National Snaffle Bit Association-approved all-breed show held prior to the Fox Lea Winter Circuit Fox Lea Winter Circuit.


The Fun In The Sun Extravaganza, held on Jan. 3-4, will feature more than 36 classes in all disciplines for open, non-pro and youth competitors and is expected to award over $36,000 in prize money. The show will feature not only Western Pleasure and Hunter Under Saddle, but a range of classes from Showmanship to Ranch Horse Pleasure and management has recently decided to add some beginner classes. Show founder Dean Bogart of Boca Raton, Florida, says he has been asked by numerous exhibitors, trainers and owners to host a show of this class and caliber and he was more than happy to answer that request.


“I really want to create a show that will become a premier NSBA event that everyone wants to attend,” Bogart says. “We wanted to create some excitement not just in Florida, but in the entire industry. The response has been overwhelming for the first year and I think it’s going to be a very nice horse show.”


Sponsorship opportunities begin at $500 and increase to the $2,500 levels. The various sponsorship levels will also be awarded with many different sponsor perks ranging from meal vouchers, banner ads, announcements and so much more.
