horse shows

Mounted display events

Horse shows are competitive events where horses and riders are judged on performance, appearance, or both.

Events vary widely—from dressage and jumping to halter classes where horses are evaluated standing still.

Shows range from local competitions to prestigious events like the Kentucky Horse Show.
