In the world of the American Saddlebred, there are many options for the exhibitor. Shows are available for persons of all levels, from the world of the academy rider all the way to the World’s Championships.

Riders normally begin their show careers in the academy division. These classes are exclusively for students enrolled in a lesson program, competing on a lesson horse.

It is a fantastic way to experience the joys of showing, and gain valuable experience- all without having to own a horse. The academy division is also an excellent option for those who do not foresee the ability to own a show horse in their future, yet wish to enjoy horse shows and all of the fun they entail.

From this point, there are many options available. For those who wish, Winning Ways has horses of various levels available for lease. Of course when one wishes to, and has achieved an intermediate to advanced level of riding or driving; horse ownership is an excellent and rewarding option. At either of these points, the next showing step available is to participate in the larger, mid-range shows within your chosen division.

From there, the canvas is blank for you to paint your own show ring future… it can be as grand or miniscule as you wish and we are here to guide you through the entire enjoyable process!

Horse shows offer much more than just show ring competition. Traveling to different cities, exploring local culture and meeting new friends are just a few of the added benefits. In fact, quite frequently… many families make a vacation out of a show-something the entire family can enjoy.

The thrill of watching top show horses and riders is something everyone should experience- these magnificent creatures at the very best… they are a sight to behold.
