Aurora, Colo. - Celebrating its 12th anniversary and its fifth year at the Ford Idaho Center Horse Park, the Sport Horse National Arabian & Half-Arabian Championship Horse Show is bringing athleticism to Nampa.

Beginning on Wednesday, September 24 and running through Saturday, September 27, this horse show is unique - not just to the Arabian horse breed, but to other breeds as well. The Arabian Horse Association (AHA) is the only breed association that offers a Sport Horse only National Show for its horses and exhibitors.

Sport Horses are known for their athleticism and will be showcased at this National Event. From Dressage to Hunter/Jumper, Pleasure Carriage Driving to In-Hand classes and much more, AHA invites the residents of Boise and Nampa to come out and see the best equine athletes in the industry.

Class sessions begin respectively at 8 AM, 1 PM and 7 PM. The show is FREE to the public and offers free barn tours on Thursday and Friday, September 25 and 26 at 4 PM and 6 PM; and on Saturday, September 27 at 10 AM and 2 PM. Contact Nedra Johnson at [email protected] to schedule a FREE tour of the facility and meet some Arabian horses.
