Thank you to all who came and helped make 2022's Northland Horse Fair a Success!
Please check back soon for our 2023 Horse Fair date!
The Northland Horse Fair is the twin ports only horse expo event with vendors, demonstrations and of course horses! Hosted by Beyond the Barn, the Northland Horse Fair will be held inside the Miller Hill Mall in Duluth, MN. The Northland Horse Fair is a unique event for horse and pet lovers with fun activities like the 4H Used Tack Sale, guest animal meet and greet opportunities, educational seminars from guest speakers, shopping, food, and door prizes!
Vendor Applications: We accept vendor applications from horse & pet businesses, non-profit organizations and rescues, and riding groups. All vendors must be of interest or relate in some way to the equine, pet, western lifestyle, and/or agricultural industries to keep with the theme of our event.
Please call Amanda at 218-522-4500 if you are interested in participating in the Northland Horse Fair or have questions regarding vendor space rentals.
Our goal for the Northland Horse Fair is to provide a venue for the local horse community to connect with area equine businesses and organizations as well as provide educational opportunities for multiple aspects of horse ownership, farm life, and the pet industry.
The Seminar Schedule:*Subject to change if needed. Seminars and demonstrations as well as the guest animals will be located in the Seminar Room, which is the old Beyond the Barn space in the Miller Hill Mall, right across the hall from our new space!
