Blue Ribbon Horse Shows

IMPORTANT UPDATE: Responding to Coronavirus

As we continue to monitor the situation with Coronavirus (COVID-19), we are taking steps to help protect the health and well-being of our exhibitors and their families.

The City of Phoenix has asked that all outdoor events be suspended through April 30th, 2020.

With that being said Horse Lovers Park has suspended ALL events through that date.

We will be cancelling our April 19th, 2020 Triple Judge show at this time.

We are working on potentially adding a June 6th show date.

Remember: Our next show date is May 16th, 2020 - Saturday 4:00 p.m.

Remember to wash your hands!!
