The April 8–11 exposition at the Ohio Expo Center combines equine education, a horse-focused trade show, entertainment and competition. Fantasia requires a separate ticket.
All times are local to the venue · America/New York
Visitors can approach Equine Affaire through learning, browsing a horse-related trade show, or watching equine entertainment and competition. Those different strands make it useful to decide what matters most before choosing a day; the published description gives the broad mix, not a day-by-day itinerary.
Education and competition sit alongside commerce and entertainment, so the exposition is not presented as a single contest or one kind of horse event. The listing also points to opportunities to experience horses of different types, but does not name particular sessions, demonstrations or participants for the 2027 edition.
That distinction matters when choosing a date: the available description establishes the event’s range, but not which offerings are scheduled on each day.

The event listing describes the horse-related trade show as the largest in North America, but it does not provide an exhibitor roster or list specific products.
A Columbus annual-events guide also says visitors may have opportunities to buy and sell horses. It does not identify animals or explain sale arrangements, so treat that as a general possibility rather than a promise of particular inventory. Anyone planning around a horse purchase should confirm the details before traveling.

Fantasia, a musical production celebrating horses, is scheduled for Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings during the exposition. It requires a separate ticket; the listing does not give performance times, ticket prices or purchase terms.
If Fantasia is part of your plan, check its timing and ticket arrangements separately from the exposition. General admission details are not provided in the event listing either.
