In just its 3rd year, the Arabian Sport Horse Nationals showcases the agility, trainability, versatility and beauty of the Arabian Sport Horse. It has provided a playground for Arabian competitors to compete as a single breed under standards of the open sport horse world, turning heads of educated horsemen around the globe.

Honoring this achievement, the 2005 Sport Horse Nationals will be hosting Celebration of Arabian Sport Horse, a spectacular day of education and entertainment on Saturday, September 24. Its anticipation is drawing regional and national media attention, as well as Olympic equestrian greats David O’Connor (eventing) and Hilda Gurney (dressage).

Activities begin with O’Connor and Gurney presenting public clinics in the disciplines of hunter/jumper and dressage respectively in the afternoon (along with meet-and-greet book signings). Education turns entertainment in the evening with the "Horse Illustrated Sport Horse Spectacular & Jumper Mini-Prix," featuring spellbinding renditions of extraordinary Arabian and Half-/Anglo-Arabian sport horses as well as the always-exciting Jumper Mini-Prix.

Don’t miss this inaugural event!
