Passion for Equestrian Excellence

Who We Are

We are Joe and Heather Johnson. Some of you may know us (if you’re old time barrel racers) and some of you may not. Heather and I met at an OIHA show many, many years ago. Our love of horses and barrel racing helped to grow a strong bond that has now turned into a 15+ year marriage with two amazing daughters. 

We purchased a property in Grand Rapids, Ohio where we currently have 6 of our personal horses and 9 boarders in the barn. Our overall love for horses and being at shows on the weekends has now transferred to our daughters as they have gained more confidence as peewee riders. We have been asked 1,000 times “When is there another show at WB”.

Well, now we have the opportunity, and we are ready to jump in with both feet (actually 8 feet). The facility will see some improvements in the near future, and we welcome any suggestions on your end. This will be operated as a family atmosphere with the goal to develop the youth in the horse industry, to strive in their adult lives, just as we have had the opportunity to do so. 

Thank you for the opportunity to introduce ourselves and we look forward to lasting years of professional and personal relationships.

At THE Show Arena, we believe that equestrian events are more than just competitions. They are opportunities for horse lovers to come together, showcase their skills, and create lasting memories.
