Scottsdale Arabian Horse Show
One of the most prestigious Arabian horse shows on earth takes over WestWorld of Scottsdale every February — nearly 2,000 horses, a huge shopping expo, and world-class competition. Here’s how to visit, and how to pair it with a desert adventure.
A world-class celebration of the Arabian horse
Running for seven decades, the Scottsdale Arabian Horse Show is one of the largest and most prestigious Arabian shows anywhere, drawing breeders, riders and spectators from around the globe. Nearly 2,000 of the world’s finest Arabian and Half-Arabian horses compete daily across WestWorld’s arenas.
It’s built for spectators, too: admission gets you into a sprawling shopping expo with hundreds of vendors, food and dining, breed demonstrations, and the chance to watch elite competition up close. It’s a highlight of Scottsdale’s winter season and genuinely family-friendly.
