Denny Chapman at Oaklea Farm














































Here are some pictures from a private performance we were featured in at Oaklea Farm in Reddick FL this morning. We're fortunate to be based in the heart of horse country, and often conduct private performances and clinics at farms in the Central Florida area while representing our sponsors Suncoast Bedding www.SuncoastBedding.com and Mane N Tail products www.ManeNTail.com. We are planning another Central Kentucky Tour in 2009 - last year we performed a specialty act for a polo tournament at the Kentucky Horse Park, a wild west show for University of Kentucky Alumni at the beautiful Spindletop Hall Farm, a mounted shooting clinic and roman riding/trick horse performance at John Bizzack's Bittersweet Station Farm, opening and half-time performances for the American Football League's Lexington Horsemen, a speial performance for the Council of State Governments at the Lexington Marriott and a show for Courtiswood Farm in Georgetown Ky. We'll post updates on our "Upcoming Events" page at http://www.dennychapman.com/ as we confirm dates. We're already booking up fast for this year!
Happy Trails from Denny and the Wild West Entertainment crew!
