Independent Newsmedia
The Arabian Horse Association of Arizona recently announced the return of the 65th annual Scottsdale Arabian Horse Show at WestWorld of Scottsdale.
The family-friendly horse show runs Feb. 13-23 and is expected to attract hundreds of thousands of spectators, a press release claims.
“More than 2,400 Arabian horses from all over the globe will participate in this year’s event,” Taryl O’Shea, executive director of the AHAA, said in a prepared statement.
“The competition includes a wide variety of class events where more than $3 million in prize money is offered, as the best of the best vie for the coveted title of Scottsdale Champion.”
Spectators can also browse the Shopping Expo with over 350 unique commercial exhibitors overflowing with treasures, baubles, bangles and beads.
The trade booths will offer jewelry, clothing, works of art, boots, saddles, gifts and trinkets. The international cuisine court will also feature over 50 food vendors.
Families will have several free activities to choose from including ice cream socials, ceramic horse painting, art contests, behind-the-scenes barn tours, educational round pen demonstrations and the opportunity to meet an Arabian horse.
“This show is the first of the competition season and it’s always a grand event where owners, breeders and trainers unveil their superstars for the new competition year,” Ms. O’Shea said. “Families who come out for this one-of-a-kind experience won’t be disappointed.”
The 2020 Scottsdale Arabian Horse Show will benefit several local charities including Healing Hearts Animal Rescue and Refuge, Horses Help TRC, Scottsdale Community College, Youth For Troops and March of Dimes.
The 11-day event starts at 8 a.m. from Feb. 13-23 at WestWorld, 16601 N. Pima Road. Tickets are available at the gate or online at Ticketmaster.
General admission tickets cost $10, tickets for seniors cost $7, while children age 12 and under are free. Military members and their families can attend for free on Military Appreciation Day which is Feb. 18.
