New to the Night of the Horse, the Gary Sandstead chuck wagon races will have you on the edge of your seat! A throwback to cowboy tradition, the wagons carried supplies and would race into town in time to prepare meals for the cowboys' arrival.
The Escondido Mounted Posse will perform a comedy skit showing how outlaws were dealt with in the Old West. Among the best in the country, Native American Hoop Dancer Eric Runningpath, and announcer Steve Lewendowski will ensure you and your family have a dazzling, fun-filled evening!
In addition, the band Herrick, which has opened shows for Kenny Chesney, Hank Williams Jr., the Zac Brown Band, and Miranda Lambert, to name a few, will perform right after the Night of the Horse performance. Check out Herrick's latest release: New Dance. Check out the Herrick sound using a player below:
