–  Western Night  –  Invitational Barrel Racing and Pole Bending competition, where cowboys and cowgirls “beat the clock” riding through a cloverleaf pattern of barrels and a slalom course of poles! Guy McLean will end the evening with his unique blend of horsemanship and entertainment which he calls “Edutainment”.

–  $75,000 Grand Prix de Penn National  –  On this final night, the Grand Prix horses are ridden through the biggest obstacles, around the tightest turns at the fastest speeds of the week!  For the last two years, riders representing five other countries competed against the Americans.
