Arabian Horse Show
WestWorld becomes the epicenter
of the Arabian horse world this week,
with 2,400 horses and more than 600
competition classes that will be showcased.
Since 1955 the Annual Scottsdale Arabian Horse Show
has set the pace in the Arabian horse world. The first
show was held at the grounds of the Arizona Biltmore
Hotel which was a beautiful setting for a horse show.
The Scottsdale Arabian Horse Show was a first class
show from the very first day. It has grown from 50
horses to nearly 2400 horses bringing top owners,
trainers and breeders from around the world competing
for a chance at winning.
Today billed as the largest Arabian show in the world,
participants in the Scottsdale Arabian Horse Show are
already taking to the $47 million makeover of WestWorld,
with enclosed and air-conditioned arenas offering greater
comfort for competitors and 200,000 spectators over 11
days.
