Who is the CHHR expo for? Horse-lovers!!! The horse-person looking to refine their communication through deepening their connection. The riding instructor and/or equine therapy practitioner that is seeking ways to better support their horse partners. The horse lover (does not have to be a horse owner) that wants to connect with a like-hearted community, immerse in relationship-based presentations, and be inspirited by the CHHR Saturday Evening Show!
When is this? November 15th and 16th, 2025. Gates open at 8:30 AM Saturday and Sunday. The Saturday Evening Show begins with a pre-show at 5:30 PM. You may attend one or both clinic days and/or you may attend only the evening show.
Where will the event be held? Boys and Girls Home (BGH) Equine Facility at Lake Waccamaw, NC ~ (use 215 Bill Thompson Lane Lake Waccamaw, NC) This is a beautiful facility with a large covered arena, wrap-around seating, multiple outdoor arenas, a built in obstacle garden, multiple barns with 10 by 10 stalls, all situated within a huge pecan orchard. The energy of this space is just amazing! There are RV hookups available, bath houses, and lots of space to tent camp. Or you can rent a BnB in the town of Lake Waccamaw, NC.
Can I bring my horse partner? YES! You are still welcome to bring your horse partner along. We still have a few spots for horses to be a part of our clinician demonstrations. Email us at HearYourOwnHeart@gmail.com with CHHR in the subject line if you are interested in your horse being a demo horse in a clinic. Stalls are $85 for the entire weekend, plus $8 per bag of shavings. This is in addition to your CHHR ticket.
I can only attend one day, is that ok? YES! There will be multiple clinics offered on both Saturday and Sunday. (Nov. 15th and 16th) You are welcome to both days, or welcome to attend one day, or part of one day, whatever suits you best!
What about this evening show? The evening show is offered on Saturday only. It will begin with our pre-show at 5:30 pm, so please arrive by 5:00 to get your seats. There will be multiple ‘freestyle’ performances with the common goal to CELEBRATE the Horse-Human Relationship. There will be multiple performances from different horse & human teams. Below is one of the performances from last year (this video is from a different location):
How much is my investment in this experience? Tickets are to cover the entire weekend of clinics and the CHHR Evening Show are $55 for adults, $25 for youth. One day tickets are $35 for adults. If you would like to come ONLY for The CHHR Evening Show, that is a donation of $15, and everyone under 18 is free with an adult. All funds raised will go to support the non-profit, I AM HERD Mustang Sanctuary.
I have another question. Who should I contact? Please email me (Mary Miller-Jordan) at HearYourOwnHeart@gmail.com with CHHR in the subject line (please do this so that I do not miss your message!) and I will be happy to speak with you. You are also welcome to text me at 910-712-4823.
Thank you so much for your interest in this event! This has lived in my heart for quite some time, I am honored to have the support of such an amazing community of horse loving professionals to help me bring it to life!
