We're proud to introduce you to our way of life!
Hobby Horse Arena is located in west central Illinois in the heart of farm country. Life is simple here. We work hard and play even harder. We feel so blessed to have so many terrific friends that share the love of horses with us. The winter activities are winding down, it's time to think spring and warm weather.
Several of our friends and acquaintances will be competing all over the US this spring and summer. We want to wish all a very successful season, maybe we will be seeing you there. GOOD LUCK EVERYBODY!!!
Hobby Horse is a dream come true for us. We have worked hard to turn what used to be a wheat field into a fun family friendly environment. We welcome you to come visit us, view the horses and even rope a cow or two if you are so inclined. You should bring your own horses to ride though, as ours are usually occupied . We have always dreamed of having a place to rope right in the back yard, so shortly after building the house and remodeling the 1917 dairy barn into what is now the home to our geldings, a 150 x 300 roping arena was built.( This past summer, we shortened the arena up so that it was less stress on the cattle and horses. We really like the shorter arena alot.) With the help of a few friends, it was constructed one weekend and the roping calves were bought.
NEWS FLASH!!!
We have completed our second winter in the new 80 x 200 indoor arena!
We have been busy buying , selling and sorting out cattle , trying to keep consistency at a premium. We all want good cattle to play with!!
There are two things that are VERY IMPORTANT to us: to keep good roping cattle and to always start our events on time! We try to hard to ensure make sure everyone is having a great time....We have a new snack bar and there is seating in the balcony for those who just want to watch.
We will be hosting a lot of different equine events. You can reach us by phone: 1-217-936-2941 or email us at sfrazier@adams.net. We are planning on having Jackpot Ropings and practices all year round, rain or shine, so please check the Event Calendar listed above for times and dates of all our events.
We love to team rope, enjoying the sport whenever and wherever we can. You will find us also enjoying the horses in many other ways too. Cattle drives, team sorting, trail rides, fun shows, cowboy mounted shooting- we'll try anything.
If you are having an event at your place, please let us know and we will be glad to post it for you on our calendar, please post our events on yours!
We are proud members of the American Quarter Horse Association, Foundation Quarter Horse Association, International Buckskin Horse Association, and World Foundation Quarter Horse Alliance.
Give us a call or just stop in, we always love to talk horses!
