We have never been to our local county fair. There are several reasons: It's always on my birthday weekend, it's usually scorching hot, it costs way too much money, and overall lack of interest, I guess. However, this year some friends of ours had some animals (remember the cute bunnies?) entered in the fair as well as doing some horse riding. We found out that the day before the fair officially opens, all the animals are there and you can get in for free to see them.
So last Tuesday I took the kids over to see what our little fair had to offer. Abby was very excited (Ryan was underwhelmed) when I told her we were going to see the animals. She wanted to see them all, and we did. We saw the horses, pet the sheep and pigs and cows, saw the bunnies and chickens and geese, and last of all, we saw the goats. 
Even Ryan enjoyed the animals once we got to the bunnies and goats. Abby kept wanting to see the dogs, but I finally convinced her they don't have dogs at the fair (at least not our fair).
I know next to nothing about equestrian events, but they were doing some contests while we were there. We sat and watched a couple of competitions, and both kids really enjoyed that. Abby is dying to get back on Jesse, our friends' horse, so hopefully now that the fair is over, she will be able to get a quick ride in soon.
