Today is the beginning of competition at the 128th National Horse Show and the dawn of a new chapter in the show’s history.

This year marks the first that the show will be held in Kentucky after having drifted from its long history in Manhattan to a few years in Florida, Pennsylvania and Syracuse, New York. This year is also the first where the show has taken on a title sponsor, thus the National’s new moniker, the Alltech National Horse Show (ANHS).

Horse enthusiasts everywhere will be able to watch this year’s show right here on HorseChannel.com thanks to webcast from the Alltech Ag Network.

Hunter competition takes place during the day starting at 8 a.m. today through Saturday. Jumper classes are featured in the evening starting at 7 p.m. Highlights include the Open Jumpers Welcome Stake on Wednesday, Nov. 2 and the $250,000 Alltech Grand Prix on Saturday evening. On Sunday, the country’s best hunt seat equitation riders take the stage in the ASPCA Maclay National Championship beginning at 7:00 a.m. with the second round at 3:00 p.m.

The ANHS has made a commitment to assisting charities through donations of 50% of each evening’s ticket sales. Beneficiaries include the Kentucky Horse Park’s Mustang Troop, Louisville Mounted Police, the Kentucky Equine Humane Center and the ASPCA.
