Learn more about the 501c(3) Organization, Kaysinger Horse Show Circuit, from Tiffany Sherry, President:
Since its founding in 1968, the Kaysinger Horse Show Circuit has become a cornerstone of the equestrian community in the Midwest. Hosting four multi-day shows each year at the Missouri State Fairgrounds in Sedalia, MO, the circuit spans two arenas and draws exhibitors from Missouri, Illinois, Kansas, Oklahoma, and Arkansas. Its enduring popularity is rooted not only in its competitive offerings but also in the inclusive, family-oriented culture that has defined the circuit for more than five decades.
The success of the Kaysinger Horse Show Circuit is also a testament to its 100% volunteer-run structure. Generations of families have contributed time, energy, and dedication to keeping the circuit running smoothly. From parents and children to grandparents, this legacy of involvement has created a tightly knit, passionate equestrian community.
