WELCOME TO THE FIRST U.S. ARABIAN OPEN SHOW! We are thrilled to be a part of the Rolex Central Park Show in 2015. This is a wonderful opportunity for the Arabian Community to be showcased along with the best of the Hunter, Jumper and Dressage horses in their respective US Opens during this week of equine exhibitions. New York’s Central Park is the busiest city park in the world. This is one of the two weeks for the United Nations to be in session. Add to that the fact that this year the Pope will be visiting Central Park on Friday, Sept. 25th. Just imagine how many international and national visitors will be in New York City with all these events going on at the same time. Our horses will be exposed to audiences that we have never before dreamed possible. The classes are a combination of breeding-in-hand combined with Western Pleasure, Hunter Pleasure, Country English Pleasure and the always popular Native Costume. It will be an evening to cherish and appreciate our beautiful horses and their ability in the versatile disciplines. Please enjoy your evening and thanks for coming out to support the Arabian Breed! Best Regards, Cynthia M Richardson President, Arabian Horse Association

Halter is a type of horse show class where horses are shown “in hand,” meaning that they are led, not ridden, and are judged on their conformation and suitability as breeding stock. They
H A L T E R
should be presented with front feet square and the back feet

parted so that one leg is set perpendicular to the ground, and the other slightly behind it, in order to tighten and flatten the relatively horizontal croup and show off the high-set tail. The head should be carried high and the neck stretched out. The horses are presented to the judge in hand at a walk and trot and are judged on the following criteria; Arabian Type, Conformation, Suitability as a breeding animal, Quality, Movement, Substance, Manners, and Presence.
APPOINTMENTS Arabian halter horses are shown wearing a light halter or headstall. Arabian show halters are made of very delicate, thin leather and may be decorated with silver, crystal or beads. The light design of the halter is meant to accentuate the distinctive shape of the Arabian’s head. Exhibitors generally wear traditional business suits.

as with other pleasure classes, give the appearance of being a pleasure to ride while displaying a pleasant, relaxed attitude.

The Country English Pleasure horse competes under a saddle seat style and carries himself in an uphill manner with a high degree of collection and elevation throughout the walk, trot and the canter. The horse is meant to give the appearance of being a pleasure to ride while displaying a comfortable attitude. They should perform with fluid power and balance, and should move to the bridle with grace and poise, all with subtle cues from the rider. These horses have a quiet, responsive mouth and move with willingness, obvious ease, cadence, balance and smoothness. Country English Pleasure horses are judged on attitude, manners, performance, quality and conformation.

A P P O I N T M E N TS
Western Pleasure horses are evaluated on manners and suitability of the horse for a relaxed but collected gait. They are required to exhibit a slow speed and must have a calm and responsive disposition. The Western horse should appear to be a “pleasure” to ride and very comfortable for the exhibitor. Western classes are designed to model the work and activities of the cowboy out on the trail. First time Arabian horse owners are often pleasantly surprised to find that Arabian horses have the conformation and the temperament that make them truly a ‘pleasure’ to ride.
