show rings
Performance venue loops
Show rings are circular arenas where animals—typically horses, dogs, or livestock—are exhibited and judged in competition.
The term refers both to the physical enclosure and the competitive events held there: She's been competing in show rings since she was twelve.
In the plural, it often suggests the broader world of animal showing: a horse well-known in show rings across the country.
