Since the inaugural Idaho Cutting Horse Association’s 2002 Futurity with over 400 horses and participants, for Ford Idaho Horse Park has blossomed into the Northwest’s leading horse facility. With over 110 acres and the ability to house 850 horses, folks come from all over the country to make the Ford Idaho Horse Park their home for their horse show.
The Ford Idaho Horse Park hosts a variety of events each year including NCHA, NRCHA, NRHA and Arabian championship shows. In July of each year, we also team up with the Snake River Stampede Rodeo which brings cowboys and cowgirls from all over the US and Canada to compete for top PRCA prize money.
