The Kentucky Summer Horse Show, produced by Kentucky Horse Shows, LLC, will be held at the picturesque Kentucky Horse Park, July 30-August 3, and the Kentucky Summer Classic will follow during the week of August 6-10, 2008. These two weeks of exciting hunter/jumper competition will feature incredible horses and riders from across the nation.

Featuring two grand prix competitions, one of which is American Grand Prix Association--sanctioned, the Kentucky Summer Horse Shows will welcome top show jumpers in the $40,000 Kentucky Summer Grand Prix and the $40,000 RV Sales of Broward Kentucky Classic Grand Prix. Additionally, the shows will host two $25,000 Hagyard Lexington Classics. These classics are part of the Hagyard Challenge Series, a summer-long series of seven show jumping events. The series, which features $215,000 in prize money, will present its top competitor with a $50,000 Leading Rider Bonus at the Kentucky National Indoor Horse Show in September.

Talented hunters will take center stage in the $20,000 ASG Software Solutions/USHJA International Hunter Derby at the Kentucky Summer Horse Show, a recognized World Championship Hunter Rider event.
