The Twin State Saddlebred Association and the Vermont Morgan Horse Association are combining to introduce the Summer Kickoff Open Horse Show. The new show will be held June 16-18, 2016, at the Tri County Fairgrounds in Northampton, Massachusetts.

There is an newly enlarged indoor ring with covered warm up ring in case of inclement weather.The stabling is first class and the grounds spacious with several work venues. Northampton is home to many fine restaurants and the area is very picturesque.
