Welcome to Black Hawk Creek Saddle Club

Offering family friendly horse shows for over 55 years

All shows are held at the Cattle Congress Pullin Simonsen arena in Waterloo, Iowa

Friday night games shows begin at 6:00 pm with warm up barrels and Jackpot barrels will begin after 6:30 pm. Saturday performance classes begin at 9:30 am with Halter.

The board of the Black Hawk Creek Saddle Club met April 8 to finalize the 2024 show bill and fund raising. Jr. and Sr. Queen Contests will be held at our June 22 show. The Friday night games show will add Texas Roll Back as an open class at every show. The Mystery class (one per show) will be Ribbon Race, Figure 8 Stake Race, Flying M and then Staight Barrels. The Saturday classes will add Open In hand trail and Open Jr. Horse/ pony (5 & Under) walk trot. Discipline Rail will change to Break the Gait, which is much the same, but with a Simon Says type of elimination used. In the near future we will be offering an online store to purchase BHCSC branded apparel and other items. 

Show dates for 2024 are confirmed:

June 21-22 Queen Contest

July 5-6

August 2-3
