The Midwest Horse Fair is owned by the Wisconsin State Horse Council, Inc.

The horse industry has a total impact of $112.1 billion on U.S. Gross Domestic Product, including providing 1.4 million full time jobs and paying $1.9 Billion in taxes. Racing, showing and recreation each contribute more than 25% to the total value of goods and services produced by the industry. There are 7.1 million Americans involved in the industry as horse owners, service providers, employees, and volunteers.
The Midwest Horse Fair is governed by an Advisory Committee composed of seven elected individuals volunteering their wisdom and expertise. The office is staffed by a General Manager and an Event Coordinator. Eleven Management Team members work on specific aspects of the Fair year-round. In addition, there are 350 fine people who volunteer at the Fair each year. These volunteers generously offer their time and talent because they believe in what we do and they want to be a part of this flourishing event.
