Horse enthusiasts of every kind will be amazed at the fantastic opportunities in Mississippi.

Spectacular events are hosted here each year and attract thousands of participants and spectators. The Dixie National Quarter Horse Show held in February is the second largest quarter horse show in the world and attracts 2,000 participants. The Deep South Peruvian Horse Show made its debut in Mississippi in 2004. The Horse Work Off, held each year in March, attracts more that 1,000 participants. The National Cutting Horse Futurity, held in October, is another amazing horse show popular with participants and audiences from across the U.S. And for added excitement, the National All-American Youth Barrel Racing competition is held each July in Jackson. There are also many local horse shows and equestrian events. If you want a more personal adventure, try one of the state's many riding trails. One of the finest is the Shockaloe Horse Trail in the Bienville National Forest. It is listed on the National Register of Trails and widely acclaimed as an exceptional riding trail. The Natchez Trace Scenic Trail also offers riders many incomparable experiences.
