MARS Barn Night 2025, presented by Walkenbach Equestrian, was a blast! Delivering a full slate of competition and entertainment to a sold-out crowd, the evening was packed with top sport, exhibitions, disguises, and surprises.

The arena was buzzing with enthusiastic spectators, including dozens of groups from local barns and equestrian organizations, enjoying contests, giveaways, and the evening’s slate of costumed competition and thrilling exhibitions.

The night began with the $63,000 Accumulator Costume Class, featuring elite riders and their horses competing in full Halloween regalia. It continued with a stunning performance by Sylvia Zerbini and her 12 Arabian horses in “Grande Liberté,” followed by the ever-popular WIHS Shetland Pony Steeplechase Races.

The festivities wrapped up with multiple barn groups taking home fantastic prizes and a long line of fans enjoying one-on-one time with some of the world’s best riders at an autograph session.
