About World's Championship Horse Show

The World’s Championship Horse Show (WCHS) is held annually in conjunction with the Kentucky State Fair and crowns world champion Saddlebreds, Hackney Ponies, and Road Horses in different divisions.

As the world’s richest and most prestigious horse show, the WCHS attracts spectators and competitors from across the world and includes over 2,000 horses competing for more than $1.5 million in awards. It celebrated its 120th year in 2023.
