Founded in 1883 in New York by a group of influential sportsmen, the National Horse Show is America's oldest indoor horse show, firmly established as a major fixture on the national and international sport and social calendars.
The National Horse Show has been held in a number of locations over the years including the original Madison Square Garden, New Jersey's Meadowland's Arena, Wellington, Florida, and Syracuse, New York. At the beginning of 2011, the National Horse Show announced it would relocate to Lexington, KY.
From November 2 - 6, the Alltech National Horse Show will take place in its new home at the Alltech Arena on the beautiful grounds of the Kentucky Horse Park, site of the 2010 Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games. Performances are open to the public and will feature the Show Jumping Hall of Fame Junior and Amateur National Championships, the National Horse Show Grand Prix, Hunter events, and the ASPCA Alfred B. Maclay, the crown jewel of equitation for junior riders.
Fifty percent of the net proceeds from the Alltech National Horse Show general admission gate receipts will be donated to the various charities featured each day at the event.
