show ring
Judging competition area
A show ring is an enclosed arena where animals are exhibited and judged at competitions—livestock shows, horse shows, dog shows, and the like.
The ring allows judges and spectators to observe animals as handlers parade them: The handler guided the mare around the show ring.
By extension, show ring can describe the competitive exhibition world generally: a dog bred for the show ring.
