Every great win needs a great caption! KD's first time showing at the NOHSA World Championship Show in 2025, she left with several new pieces of hardware! 🏆 We'll be keeping an eye out for her again this year!

You do not have to have the fanciest horse, trailer or show clothes to belong at NOHSA.

One of the best things about the NOHSA World Championship Show is the reminder that horse showing is supposed to be about growth.

About trying, learning and showing up anyway. About coming out better on the other side from the experience.

Whether you’re stepping into a championship pen for the first time or returning with bigger goals this year, 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲’𝘀 𝗿𝗼𝗼𝗺 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲.

Join us September 10–13, 2026 at C Bar C Expo Center in Cloverdale, Indiana—where you belong!

Meet 𝐀𝐥𝐥𝐚𝐫𝐚 𝐇𝐮𝐞𝐛𝐧𝐞𝐫, one of our newest members!

Hi! My name is Allara, and I am 6 years old. I fell in love with horses when I was very young and started taking riding lessons at age 4. When I was 5, I got my very first horse, and this is our first show season together. My horse’s name is Alder, and he is 3 years old. I am so excited for all the learning, growth, and fun that we will share as a team!

We’ll be cheering them on when they step into the arena. 🎉

Beginning December 1, 2026, NOHSA will implement a free Show Approval Program for all shows whose exhibitors participate in NOHSA. Show managers will be required to submit a simple, free show application prior to the start date of in order for their shows to count for NOHSA.

The new process is designed to make reporting results easier, improve record accuracy and provide additional visibility for participating shows.

𝗦𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝘀𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗹𝘆 𝘀𝘂𝗯𝗺𝗶𝘁:
✔️ Show name
✔️ Show date
✔️ Location
✔️ Contact information
✔️ A copy of the showbill

Already submitting your show to the NOHSA Calendar? Nothing changes for you. Approved shows will automatically be added to the calendar as part of the process.

Exhibitors will still be required to submit their results following the show, but will be able to simply select the show they attended from a drop-down. No more tracking down emails and information! 🎉

We're excited to continue making participation in NOHSA simpler and more rewarding for everyone involved.
