“We were truly honored to welcome over 175,000 visitors to the 71st Scottsdale Arabian Horse Show.
There is nothing we love more than sharing the incredible beauty, versatility, and wonderful spirit of our horses with the world. They are what make the Scottsdale Arabian Horse Show, The Greatest Horse Show on Earth!”
Paul Glans, AAHA President
To say that the Scottsdale Arabian Horse Show is “The Greatest Horse Show on Earth” is quite a claim, but don’t take our word for it, ask those who have been attending the show since its early years, and they will happily share their opinions. Everyone remembers their first Scottsdale show, and for many, it is the beginning of their journey with Arabian horses. Long-time Arabian horsewoman, Roxann Hart of Rohara Arabians, immediately recalled that her first trip to Scottsdale was to show her young grey mare, Ivanhoe Tsultress. She remembered there were 96 horses in the class, and famed horseman Peter Cameron was the judge. He placed Tsultress first in her class. Later, in her career, she was named 1980 U.S. National Reserve Champion Futurity Champion and 1981 U.S. National Champion Mare. Ivanhoe Tsultress was just one of many horses to be named Scottsdale Champion and later go on to be named U.S. National Champion.
Arabian horse breeders and owners from around the world agree that Scottsdale is THE place to see the creme de la creme of the breed, and winning a Scottsdale Championship title remains a coveted honor. According to the show’s organizers, there was an outstanding number of entries again this year and the consensus among the judges was that the quality was spectacular.
“It has been a true pleasure and honor to work with the dedicated AAHA board of directors, executive director, staff, and countless volunteers who work tirelessly to make this show the huge success that it is. You are who make this show GREAT! ”
Paul Glans, outgoing AAHA President
The incredible numbers of horses, their versatility, their extraordinary quality and beauty, the amazing presentations from the skilled riders and handlers are what bring spectators back year after year. Visitors numbered over 175,000 this year! In addition to the extraordinary equines, the Scottsdale show hosts a luxury shopping experience with over 250 artisans and boutique retailers offering exclusive design and fashion for you, your home, or horse.
The stands were packed for the Sunday morning Championship finals, including the exciting and lucrative Scottsdale Signature Stallion Yearling Auction championships where thousands of dollars in prize money were awarded to the champions and top ten horses of the classes. A fun and interesting fact is that many of the horses in these classes were bred, owned, and shown by their amateur owners, which added tremendously to the excitement of the classes.
It is a singular experience to sit ringside at the Scottsdale show, especially for the final championships, when the Arizona sun is shining brightly and the brisk air is full of electricity. The horses feel it too, the excitement of the competition, the open gate, the large arena, the cheers from the stands, all inspire the horses to make a grand entrance and show
themselves to the admiring crowds. There is nothing more captivating than a proud, confident, happy Arabian horse.
Among the horses showing were veterans of the ring including past National and International Champions. Breeders and owners from abroad also know and understand the importance of a Scottsdale Championship title. For decades breeders from the Middle East, Australia, Europe, and South America, especially from Brazil and Argentina, have brought their horses to Scottsdale to compete, and to promote their breeding programs, and
their stallions. It is always a welcoming place for breeders to come together to share ideas, to learn from each other, and work together to improve and preserve the breed for future generations. AAHA looks forward to welcoming you to next year’s show. Join us February 11-21, 2027.
