This year, the thundering of hooves sounds again at Westworld of Scottsdale as the 58th<\/sup>\u00a0Annual Arabian Horse Show and Shopping Expo put on by the Arabian Horse Association of Arizona (AHAA) returns. For over half a century, the show has delighted horse lovers of all ages. There is something for everyone at this Expo. The dirt arena in the main barn showcases the Arabian equines and their riders from all over the world. From English dressage to Western style riding in sparkly outfits, the expo showcases just about everything horses can do from trick riding and jumping, to the sheer discipline when the horse is allowed to run free and then bows it’s head to return to it’s master at a mere call.<\/p>\n

The hot blooded horses are equaled in majesty only by their noble strength. Arabian horses have long been praised for their beauty and majesty having been chosen by pharaohs in Egypt to pull their chariots. Here, there is a chariot pulling show as well as western calf roping. Prestigious award ribbons are also handed out. More than just an honor to place on the barn wall, the show has gained so much notoriety that a win here translates to big profits for one’s horse in the breeding barn. There are also smaller arenas where you can watch the horses warm up, cool down, and perform smaller shows. Be sure to dress comfortably but nicely for this event as you will be walking around outside part of the time. The main performance arena often gets crowded while everyone tries to get a view of the events, so the best option is to purchase a VIP ticket which guarantees you a seat to get up close views of the four legged creatures.<\/p>\n
