This event, the first of its kind, is co-sponsored by Valley Horse Owners Association, Vaquero Heritage Foundation and The "New Heaven on Earth Ranch" Foundation. It will bring together equine related groups, organizations and businesses for the purpose of sharing information and resources about the state of the horse in 2006 . The intention is to form new alliances and new strategies to protect the area's rural lifestyle and horsekeeping traditions. This is an opportunity to give updates about your youth groups, non-profit work, projects, company or products, and share your concerns and advance issues regarding the equine community, as well as hear about upcoming events, and network among the various groups. Vendors will be present promoting their products and services. State and national organizations will give updates.

Lunch will be provided by the Chuckwagon bringing the original chuck wagon back to prepare the meat. They will do it the old fashion way, setting up the wagon and camp site in the horse rest area, then digging the pit and slow cooking the meat. They will have everything looking just like it would have over 100 years ago.
