Aurora, Colo. - – The Arabian Horse Association (AHA) is excited to announce the return of the Arabian & Half-Arabian Youth National Championship Horse Show to State Fair Park in Oklahoma City, Okla. for 2016-2018. The 2016 show runs from July 23-30.

Over the years, State Fair Park has evolved into the 21st Century horse show destination and one of the largest and busiest event facilities in the country. The park ensures OKC maintains its status as the ‘Horse Show Capital of the World,’ through a recent equine renovation project. The project was implemented as part of the $100 million dollar on-going improvements to the park.

One of the biggest changes to the park is the inclusion of climate controlled amenities, including the air condition of all show arenas. In addition to having excellent heating and cooling, a state-of-the-art ventilation system will continuously circulate fresh air in and out of the barns.

“As long time chair of the Youth Nationals Show Commission, we are excited about the opportunities that OKC can offer our exhibitors and their families,” says Mickey Hegg, AHA Youth Nationals Show Commission Chair.
