Inspired by the passion for the Arabian horse, the Arabian National Breeder Finals is a show that offers an exciting stage for the Arabian Horse to compete. The focus for this year’s event will be to roll out an outstanding halter/breeding showcase that will offer prize money, prestige, and opportunities for breeders and Arabian horse enthusiasts. With up to 300 horses competing, this special event is like the Westminster of the horse industry.
“We are excited to host the 2022 Arabian National Breeder Finals again this year and welcome the international Arabian community and enthusiasts alike back,” says Taryl O’Shea, executive director of the Arabian Horse Association of Arizona. “This event is a boutique-style horse competition that will include breeding and performance competitions. If you’ve never seen an Arabian horse, this is a wonderful opportunity, that will entertain both longtime fans and those who are new to the horse arena.”

The Arabian National Breeder Finals competition consists of a series of different performances, called classes, where some of the best Arabian and halter horses in the world compete for $100,000 and the coveted title of Finals Champion. The largest prize money payout in the Arabian industry for 1-year-old (yearling horses) will be awarded at this show. A 50-50 raffle will be held throughout the show so participants can win big, with 50% of the proceeds going to the lucky ticket holder and the rest will go to the Champions and Reserve Champion in the Weanling AOTH class.
