2013 New State Fair Attractions: EquiMania™

This blogger can't wait for the fair this summer! One new attraction you have to check out is the EquiMania™!

According to the MN State Fair website, EquiMania™ is a exhibit of full-size skeletons and anatomy models, dental tools, tail-braiding and leg-wrapping activities, an 80-foot-long digestive tract, and stations detailing horse behavior, rider safety, careers and more highlight this free interactive education center for horse enthusiasts of all ages. I know I would have LOVED this when I was a child; so many young children are fascinated by horses at their age. This great exhibit is presented by Equine Guelph, the horse owners' center at the University of Guelph, Ontario, Canada. Thanks, Mr. Guelph!

EquiMania!™ is located in the Horse Barn and is open 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. daily. Check it out with your Horse Lover this MN State Fair!
