Block and Bridle Bonanza

03/27/2026

It’s hard to believe it’s been a month since the WVU Block & Bridle Bonanza!

We want to take a moment to sincerely thank all of our sponsors, volunteers, and exhibitors who helped make the weekend such a success. Your support, time, and dedication are what make this event possible each year, and we couldn’t do it without you.

We’re already looking forward to doing it all again… same time next year 😉
