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.
