Sport Horse Nationals Comes to the Horse Capital of the World
For the first time, Lexington, Ky., known as the Horse Capital of the World, will host the 7th Annual Sport Horse National Arabian and Half-Arabian Championship Horse Show (Sport Horse Nationals) September 22-27, 2009. Competitors will compete in more than 80 different Sport Horse classes across four divisions, including sport horse in-hand and under-saddle, dressage, pleasure carriage driving and hunter/jumper.
Sport Horse Nationals, which has alternated venues in the east and west since its inception, will return to Nampa, Idaho in 2010 while Lexington hosts the World Equestrian Games, but will settle in Lexington at the Kentucky Horse Park for at least three years starting in 2011.
Sport Horse Nationals ranks as the only single-breed sport horse event in the nation offered just for Arabian, Half-Arabian and Anglo-Arabian horses registered with AHA or the Canadian Arabian Horse Registry. An estimated 650 horses will compete at this prestigious event, which will name the nation’s top horses.
Competitors from 27 different states and provinces will compete for walnut plaques, rose neck garlands and a Gladys Brown Edwards trophy statue depicting the renowned ideal Arabian horse. Other awards include gold jewelry, and select classes receive additional prizes such as bridles and saddles.
