Children's & Adult Hunters Steal the Show

Lexington, KY – Oct. 28, 2023 – Hunters took to the ring for the first time at the 2023 National Horse Show on Saturday evening, with the NHS $10,000 Children’s Hunter Classic and the NHS $10,000 Adult Hunter Classic taking place in the Alltech Arena. Each hunter classic brought forth horse and rider combinations competing over two rounds—a classic round where all competitors participated and a second round where the top 12 were called back to vie for the top spots–before the respective champions were crowned.

Thank you to Cindi Pérez and Anne Bennett for your generous sponsorship of the Open Equitation Divisions at The National Horse Show.
