Unveiling our 2025 Draft Horse Classic Poster & Tickets!

This amazing pastel painting was created by artist Donna Dutra and displayed at the 2024 Art of the Classic Show. When we first saw this painting, we immediately knew it would make a great poster for 2025!

This beautiful Shire is "Quill" of the well-known Wareing Shires from Blackfoot, Idaho. The Wareing family has been exhibiting at the Draft Horse Classic for several decades and is well known for their stunning black Shire hitches always accented by the sharp pink ribbon.

New this year, we have LOWERED the ticket prices to attend the arena performances. Tickets for all performances will go on sale Monday, February 3 at 8am.

I am so honored to learn that my work has been selected for the 2024 Draft Horse Classic poster.

Here is your first look at the 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟒 𝑫𝒓𝒂𝒇𝒕 𝑯𝒐𝒓𝒔𝒆 𝑪𝒍𝒂𝒔𝒔𝒊𝒄 𝑨𝒓𝒕 𝑷𝒐𝒔𝒕𝒆𝒓!

Each year, our team enjoys looking at all of the 𝘈𝘳𝘵 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘊𝘭𝘢𝘴𝘴𝘪𝘤 entries found in Main Street Center. Our eye is specifically working to find an art entry that would make for a great poster to use the following year. While considering all of the entries during the 2023 show, we were repeatedly drawn to this painting and could already envision the 2024 poster!

Working with the artist, Cheryl Caldwell, and our graphic designer Katy Hight, our vision came to life! The elegance of this great Percheron made for an incredibly stunning poster that we're excited to use for our 2024 Draft Horse Classic!

Artist Cheryl Caldwell has been exhibiting at the 𝘈𝘳𝘵 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘊𝘭𝘢𝘴𝘴𝘪𝘤 since 2006. First selected in 2012 for her submission "The Teamsters," this is the second time one of her paintings has been chosen. Congratulations, Cheryl!

This art will be available for purchase during the 2024 Draft Horse Classic on September 19-22, 2024. Along with a variety of souvenir new items, this will be available on posters, t-shirts, and sweatshirts.

Tickets for the 2024 Draft Horse Classic will be available for purchase beginning May 1, 2024, at 8:00 am. Over the next two weeks, we will be sharing additional information about pricing, performances, and RV camping spaces.
