Scottsdale, Ariz. – Known as the largest Arabian horse show in the world, the 67th annual Scottsdale Arabian Horse Show is set to begin on Thursday, February 17, and runs through Sunday, February 27. Hosted by the Arabian Horse Association of Arizona (AHAA), the show traditionally welcomes over 2,000 Arabian horses and over 9,000 entries annually.
