Second Annual Event To Be Held August 31-September 2

Brookville, Ohio – The second annual Fallen Horsemen Memorial Horse Show will add 12 more names to its wall of honor during the event, which will be held August 31-September 2 at Circle G Arena, Lewisburg (Brookville area).

The open horse show was the idea of founder Tammy Denlinger-Lickliter, who created the event to honor Ohio and the surrounding area’s most influential horsemen and women. Lickliter teamed with the Miami Valley Horse Show Association to honor fallen horsemen and women who have made an impact on the horse industry.

“Anyone can honor a fallen horseman or woman who enabled life with horses through the Fallen Horseman show. It is our way of giving back to these wonderful people,” Lickliter said.

  • Ralph Alexander
  • Roger Beam
  • George Berry
  • Lawrence Bishop
  • Dave Hoffman Sr.
  • Ken Johnson Jr.

The all-breed horse show is open to horses and riders of all levels of competition, and will feature $3000 in added money. The show will include a Team Challenge event and provide fun classes and prizes for all competitors. A display will showcase all of the fallen horsemen and women who are being honored.

The event will begin with fun classes on Friday evening, starting at 7:00 p.m., and continue with 50 classes for exhibitors and horses on
Saturday and Sunday. The show will be held at Circle G Arena, located at 10816 Verona Road, Lewisburg, Ohio.
