Horse Expo Events is a producer of premier equine events for horse people in North America. Over the past 13 years, President Miki Cohen and her dedicated team have established their branded events as the gold standard within the equine market space. They produce two events: Western States Horse Expo, held at the spacious Cal Expo in scenic Sacramento, California June 8-10, 2012 and Horse Expo Pomona at Fairplex in Pomona, California February 2-4, 2012. Regardless of location, Horse Expo Events offer something for everyone.

 

Project Cowboy, presented by the American Quarter Horse Association, is “American Idol” meets “America’s Got Talent” for cowboys and cowgirls. The Horse Expo Pomona in California is host to the first Project Cowboy event of the year, February 2-4.  

Project Cowboy and the American Quarter Horse Association are pleased to announce that Project Cowboy at the Pomona Horse Expo, February 2-4; Project Cowgirl at the Western States Horse Expo in Sacramento, June 8-10; and Project Cowboy – Battle of the Sexes will become an RFD-TV Television series. Each event will be filmed for television. Air dates will be announced.

Patti Colbert and Tootie Bland, producers of Project Cowboy events, worked in partnership with the American Quarter Horse Association to produce the three-part series on RFD-TV.

Colbert and Bland are keeping the show reality based and invited 16 cowboys to become a part of the Pomona Horse Expo show.

“It makes better television when we follow only 16 characters, than to follow one hundred,” stated Project Cowboy producer Patti Colbert. “The format will be more like ‘The Bachelor’ or ‘Survivor’ which is intriguing and entertaining television.”

The same television format will apply to Project Cowgirl at the Sacramento, California, Western States Horse Expo. Colbert and Bland will be inviting between 15-20 women to become reality television stars.

“We are looking for unique, diverse cowgirls,” said Tootie Bland. “We want women from all walks of life as long as they can ride!”

The Project Cowboy – Battle of the Sexes in Madison, Wisconsin, August 17-19, will be open to the world and a no-holds-barred competition to truly determine “The Next Great American Cowboy.” All contestants entered in Wisconsin, no matter the number, will become a part of the television production. Entry deadline for Project Cowboy – Battle of the Sexes is July 9.   

“The American Quarter Horse Association has been such a wonderful partner in promoting Project Cowboy and the Expos we are involved with,” stated Colbert. “The opportunity to share real stories of everyday horsemen and horsewomen will connect with viewers.”
