In 2014, over 1,800 horses and 3,000 exhibitors attended the show, bringing nearly $35 million to the city of Tulsa. Horses and exhibitors of both professional and amateur status competed in a variety of disciplines, striving to bring home ribbons, plaques, trophies, red roses, and of course, National Championship honors. Disciplines included in the competition were Working Western, Trail, Saddleseat, Hunter and Western Pleasure, Show Hack, Halter, Showmanship and much more!

Additionally, members of a sister organization, the Arabian Horsemen’s Distress Fund (AHDF) took time out of their busy show schedules to take a few Arabian horses into local schools within Tulsa, encouraging literacy and a love for the Arabian horse. Children were allowed access to pet and hug the horses, read their books to the animals and climb inside a real horse trailer.
Plus, the Annual Youth Judging Contest is also held during this prestigious horse show. This year, over 45 judging teams and 120 individuals from all equine breeds, Future Farmers of America (FFA) and 4H traveled to compete for prizes, scholarships and a great learning opportunity.
