Lexington, KY – July 17, 2012 – The Alltech National Horse Show announced today that the prize list for this year’s show is now available online at the show’s website at: www.AlltechNationalHorseShow.com.

The 2012 Alltech National Horse Show takes center stage on October 30 through November 4, 2012 at the Kentucky Horse Park in Lexington, Kentucky. In addition to the top rated hunters and the ASPCA Maclay National Championship, the show features world-class international, open, junior and amateur-owner jumpers competing for the biggest prize money on the United States indoor tour.

More than 560 horses and 350 riders from nine countries attended in 2011 and the show’s debut this past season will go down in the record books as one of the most successful in the history of equestrian events in the United States.

The North American Riders Group (NARG) named the Alltech National Horse Show as the top ranked show in the United States and additionally, the National Show Hunter Hall of Fame’s membership voted last year’s debut event as the 2011 Horse Show of the Year.

Finishing third in the overall NARG rankings behind legendary Spruce Meadows in Canada, and Canadian newcomer to the rankings, Thunderbird, the Alltech National Horse Show, attained the highest score of any show in the United States at 83%. “The successful re-birth of the National Horse Show is important for our sport and crucial to the resurgence of this nation’s traditionally outstanding Indoor shows,” the NARG report stated. “Congratulations on year one’s score of 83%. NARG believes this event has a bright future.”
