| Event Description: |
Arabian & Half Arabian/Anglo-Arabian horses will be competing in a wide variety of classes throughout the three days. Admission is free, providing everyone the opportunity to come out and share in the beauty and grace of the Arabian horse.
The “Meet A Horse” program provides the opportunity for people of all ages to mount a horse dressed in an Arabian Costume, and have a free picture taken! Not interested in getting up on a horse? You can just stand beside our horse for a photo. “Meet A Horse” will be held in the Equidome on Saturday at 11:30am, 1:30pm and 3:30pm. Following the “Meet A Horse”, a guided tour of the show grounds, including “Behind The Scenes” Barn Tour. The Barn Tour provides a great opportunity to have all your questions answered about what’s happening in the show rings, warm up rings, and how the horse and rider prepare for showing. You will meet horses up close, and see a fully functioning barn from the exhibitor’s viewpoint. The tours are at 12:00pm and 2:00pm.
The focus of Saturday night is the three charities the Arabian Horse Association donates to on an annual basis: March of Dimes, Cox charities, and Phoenix Crisis Nursery. The Liberty horse class starts the evening session with each charity cheering on their selected horse. Charities win a portion of $5,000 based on their attendance and participation. The liberty horses are turned loose in the arena one at a time, running freely to selected music for a period of two minutes. It’s an exciting class showcasing the ultimate beauty of an Arabian horse fluidly covering ground without a handler’s guidance.
Join us for the day. Food and beverages are available on the grounds, as well as shopping at various vendors. Come by the Amateur Hut during the show.
