Saturday features two educational tracks that cover everything from meeting your first horse to horse care to preparing to show. Will Simpson will be in attendance on Saturday signing photos and talking about his experience traveling across the world both as an individual competitor and as a member of the U.S. show jumping team.

“Working with youth and creating opportunities for anyone to experience the incredible ability of horses to impact our lives has long been a passion of mine.” Will Simpson commented, “The Park’s Back to School Bash program fosters just that sort of opportunity and is a program I’m proud to participate in.”

Horse lovers from six to one-hundred-and-six, with all levels of experience, even those that have never met a horse, are encouraged to attend on Aug. 10 & 11, at the Paso Robles Horse Park at 3801 Hughes Parkway, Paso Robles.
