About The Breed

The National Show Horse is a striking and versatile breed that embodies elegance, athleticism, and refinement. Founded in the 1980s, the registry aimed to create a modern-day show horse while encouraging participation in equestrian competitions. Initially, the breed was a combination of Arabian and Saddlebred bloodlines, but eligibility requirements have evolved; now, horses must possess at least 50% Arabian blood.
