Horse Shows at our Caswell Horse Park

Here at Western Michigan Fairgrounds we are very proud of the facilites that Caswell Horse Park has to offer. Thanks to the generous support of our donors and countless volunteer hours by our board of directors over the years we have been able to develop what we now call the Caswell Horse Park.

Our facilities offer three different arenas.

  • The main show area is a 150′ x 300′ arena completely enclosed with Triple Crown fencing. This arena has a 2.5″ mixture of 2NS and rubber crumbles for footing, a sprinkler system, lighting, and enough seating for approximately 200 people to watch and enjoy the show.
  • Adjacent to this arena is a 120′ x 300′ make up arena with triple crown fencing, compact base top with dirt, sprinkler system, and enough seating for 200 people.
  • Caswell Horse Park’s third arena is 120′ x 240′ with triple crown fencing, dirt footing, a sprinkler system, and seating for 100 people.
  • Our unique office replicates that of an old time train station with Wi-Fi, sound system, and an upstairs 10′ x 30′ announcer’s deck overlooking the main arena.
  • Nearby by we have enclosed an arena pavilion with a full kitchen and observation windows to view the arena.
