The World’s Championship Horse Show returns to the Kentucky Exposition Center where Saddlebreds compete for their flower blanket.
The most prestigious Saddlebred show in the world celebrates its 121st year — this year with more than 2,000 horses competing for over $1.5 million in awards. The annual horse competition runs in conjunction with the Kentucky State Fair, which celebrates its 120th year.
Similar to the Kentucky Derby, Kentucky’s other famous equestrian event, the World’s Championship Horse Show has unique traditions and fashion, celebrity attendees and participants, sterling silver trophies, pageantry, and the finest horses in the world.
