This year, the Scottsdale Arabian Horse Show celebrated its 65th anniversary. For any annual event to achieve this level of longevity, it takes unwavering commitment, dedication, and a passion shared by all who participate and support it. It would be impossible to realize and acknowledge everyone who has contributed to the success of this show over the past six decades; the horses, the organizers, patrons, sponsors, exhibitors, volunteers, and attendees are too numerous to count. After 65 years, what did this show offer that was new, fresh, unique, exciting and inviting? The answer is, PLENTY! Held in one of the most beautiful cities in America, the Scottsdale Show holds the distinction of being the largest Arabian horse show in the world with over 2000 entries. Among the halter horses entered were the fresh new faces of the yearlings, most of which were making their show ring debut, as well as never before seen horses that traveled here from countries around the world. Breeders, owners, and handlers from the Middle East, Europe, Australia, and South America achieved tremendous success competing with their horses. However, this year, it seems it was the Brazilian breeders who had the strongest international influence on the show with numerous bred and owned horses taking home significant awards. Halter and breeding competition included the International Breeders Classes, Straight Egyptian and Egyptian Heritage Classes, the Scottsdale Classic Classes, Half-Arabian,Youth, and Amateur Handler Classes, as well as the Scottsdale Signature Stallion Futurity Classes, which offer the highest prize money in our American show circuit. Additional facets that make this event so wildly popular among Arabian horse enthusiasts - as well as the public spectators who attend the show - are all the various performance disciplines offer. Each day there are multiple arenas for horses competing in everything from English Pleasure,Western Pleasure, Driving, Reining and Working Cow Horses, to Dressage and Jumping Classes, and more.There truly is something for everyone.The show organizers made it their goal to welcome, engage, entertain, and enlighten the public about the wonderful world of Arabian horses and it was a huge success! We hope you will join us next year for “The Greatest Arabian Horse Show On Earth”.
