The inaugural event for the Ford Idaho Horse Park was the Idaho Cutting Horse Association's 2002 Futurity. This event brought over 400 horses and participants to Nampa for the seven day event. Shortly after the event, the Idaho Snaffle Bit Futurity made the Sport Center home.
Since that time the Ford Idaho Horse Park has hosted thousands of horses in events such as: Team Roping, local 4H, Regional Arab Horse, Quarter Horse Assn., Mounted Shooting, Dressage and many others.
