Arabian horses will take center stage Wednesday evening, September 23 on opening night at the Rolex Central Park Horse Show. The athleticism and diversity of the breed will be shown through a variety of classes. Tickets for the Arabian U.S. Open evening are now on sale and can be purchased at http://cphs.coth.com.
Wednesday evening classes will include six halter classes (Yearling colts and fillies, 2 to 3 year old colts and fillies, and 4 and over mares and stallions) and three performance classes (Western Pleasure, Country English Pleasure and Arabian Mounted Native Costume).
Halter classes will portray these amazing horses as desirable breeding stock. Intelligence and grace will be displayed through elegant western horses and mannerly country horses. Then, travel through time, where Arabian horses roamed the desert and began their journey as ancestors of modern day light breeds. The Arabian Mounted Native Costume class will take an audience through time, showing the magic and romance of the Arabian horse, both of yesterday, today and tomorrow.
Saturday and Sunday, September 26 and 27, a morning matinee will allow a platform for the Arabian horse story to be told like never before. Join AHA in the ‘Big Apple’ for an evening to remember and a chance to show off the Arabian horse on a world stage.
