The
Northwest Gaited Horse Club puts on an annual all breed gaited horse
show in July called the Evergreen Gaited Horse Classic (EGHC). This
is a fun, easy going, educational weekend whether you choose to
participate or just watch!
A Unique Horse Show
Our show gives riders and spectators the opportunity to learn about
gaited horses by integrating schooling classes right into the show
schedule. Novices take part in the show alongside the more experienced
entries, but they are given lots of help and encouragement along
the way. At the end of each schooling class the riders get immediate
feedback from the judge. Riders and spectators learn
what the judge was looking for and why the class was placed as it
was. As the show progresses, spectators can clearly see improvements
as riders applied the suggestions they receive from the judge.
Great Awards/Prizes! Photographer and Videographer Services!
Exhibitors receive awards for first place, championships, and Best of Show. Volunteers also receive free t-shirts and gift cards! We have an exciting addition to our show this year. Along with our show photographer, Jay Goss, we have “Fossil Productions” taking video’s of each class! Just think, you can have a DVD of you and your horse to watch again and again for years to come. Be sure to visit Fossil Productions vendor booth to make arrangements for individual recordings in a class as it is first come first serve.
Great
Vendors!
Our vendor's at the show are always a favorite shopping experience for spectators and exibitors. Examples of last year's displays were: jewelry, tack, real estate, horse trailers, metal sculptures, clothing, and equine educational booths. Come be a vendor and join the fun!

Stall Decorations Contest
Exhibitors have a chance to “jazz
it up” in the barns and compete in our Stall Decorations Contest.
This is a fun way to promote your horses and give sale horses more exposure. Spectators
are encouraged to tour the barns. (Please see our show
premium for stall decoration guidelines.)
Friday Night BBQ Dinner
As you know this club likes to have fun and learn! We are offering our exhibitors an option to have a delicious dinner on-site and the opportunity to meet new friends before the show starts. Bill's Bodacious BBQ of Renton, WA will be providing a tender smoked beef rib or 1/2 chicken dinner, coleslaw, BBQ beans, pop and water. Be sure to place your order on the show entry form prior to June 25.
