ARENA horse shows are “random draw” style events designed to make showing more accessible and affordable, with no horse required. Riders compete in both a flat class and a jumping class, with judging based on equitation. Jump courses typically consist of 6 to 8 fences set between 2' and 2'6".

There is no membership fee required. Your points automatically count every time you show, and riders need 20 points to qualify for Zone Finals.

The ARENA season runs from July 1 through March 31 each year, with Zone Finals held in April.

These shows run concurrently with AEE shows, allowing riders the opportunity to participate in both ARENA and AEE classes.
