Inspired by the passion for the Arabian horse, the Arabian National Breeder Finals is a show that offers an exciting stage for the Arabian Horse to compete. The focus for this year’s event will be to roll out an outstanding halter/breeding showcase that will offer prize money, prestige, and opportunities for breeders and Arabian horse enthusiasts. Over 300 horses will compete, according to the report.

“We’re looking forward to the different classes included in this year’s show,” Schalles said in the release. “The Liberty Class allows horses to run free in the arena without a rider, the Weanlings Class highlights the younger horses that are around three to six months old and the Performance Class and Arabian Native Costume Class, which are always a crowd favorite.”
The Arabian Horse Association of Arizona is proud to benefit these worthwhile charities, including the Arabian Horsemen’s Distress Fund, Healing Hearts Animal Rescue and Refuge, Hoofbeatz USA, Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation, March of Dimes, Scottsdale Community College Equine Science program, Youth for Troops, to name a few.
