Saturday, August 16th, 2014, Parrish, Florida - NAMHSA Approved
HALL OPENS AT 7:30 AM/JUDGING BEGINS AT 9 AM!
Florida Cracker Live 2013 was a great success. Thank you to all who helped put this together including those who brought their herds out to compete! Put your boots back on next summer and get ready to head to Parrish which is very near the official Florida Cracker Trail. Manatee County is the site of the beginning of the trail where riders with their horses to this day make the trek from one coast to the other every year in February where the Cracker cattle would have been driven as an agricultural product of this area. This show is intended to honor the Florida Cracker Horse breed and its heritage.

Florida Cracker Live is a one-day show that will be located at the Day Spring Conference Center in Parrish, Florida. This location is very near to I-75 and US Hwy 301 North in Ellenton. The show hall will be indoors with all the modern conveniences while in a park-like setting on the Manatee River. Space will be limited on a first paid/first reserved basis. It will be open to all experience levels of show persons with an emphasis on presentation, showmanship and sportsmanship. At the same time, it will all be very fun! All novice show persons are welcomed and encouraged to come well prepared to compete with experts and rusty stirrups.
Prizes will be given in the form of rosettes, ribbons, models, art and whatever is donated. Raffle items will be available. All donations are appreciated and will be recognized. Sponsor a class by pledging a donation. The more the merrier, so invite your show buddies to enter as well.

Lunch will be at a designated hour in the cafeteria within walking or golf cart distance. If you have special needs please advise. Lunch includes lovely salads, sandwiches, soup and drinks at reserved tables. The show hall will be attended by a real Florida Cracker (Jerri Phillips) so that the herds will not stampede while entries, their guests and other judges enjoy lunch in the cafeteria building. After the show, entrants may opt to take their supper at one of the conveniently located restaurants for all price points.
