The Market is not open to the public. Only exhibitors and qualified retail business buyers are allowed to attend. In addition, retail buyers may bring along two guests. However, the guests are barred from making purchases. This policy ensures that everyone doing business at or otherwise participating in the market is directly involved in the equine equipment industry. A more efficient and productive experience for everyone concerned is the result.
