54th Annual Carousel Charity Horse Show
ARIZONA’S PREMIER MULTI-BREED COMPETITION SHOWCASING DIVERSE BREEDS, HORSEMANSHIP, AND SHOWMANSHIP
About the Carousel Horse Show history.
The Carousel Charity Horse Show name was "coined" by Mrs. Shirley Chartrand with the first show being held in April of 1971 at the Arizona State Fairgrounds. The Carousel horse logo was designed by Mrs. Louise Prieser. The show was designed to showcase multiple breeds of horses. Some of the breeds that have traditionally been a part of the Carousel Charity Horse Show are American Saddlebreds, Arabians, Half - Arabians, Friesians, Hackney Ponies, Morgans, Peruvian Pasos, and Road Horses. Today this show is the largest multi-breed show in the entire Southwest.
The Carousel celebrates it many years of success due to the constant support of so many. With much appreciation for their dedication and hard work we would like to thank all who have graciously dedicated time and sponsorships to the Carousel Show. The Carousel Charity Show is an amazing volunteer effort.

Saddlebred Select Series
We're really excited to share that ASHBA has brought back the Select Series division with some revisions that enable us to offer this program at our show.
Select Series is a way for your clients to show their horses in a competitive environment but be judged against "like" horses. These horses are NOT intending to show at Louisville, and if they declare at a show as Select Series, the class will not count toward qualifying for the World's Championship.
This year, we're offering Select Series classes in the:
Open Roadster To Bike
Open Road Pony To Bike
Open Park
ASB Country Western Pleasure
ASB Country Hunter Pleasure
ASB Fine Harness
Select Series horses will show concurrently with the designated ASB classes, but be judged separately. We're really excited to give everyone the opportunity to show in a deep class, but still have a chance to excel.
We'll have Select Series declaration forms for you shortly, and they'll also be available at the show.
The Regional Championship, which includes some great prizes for Select Series participants, will be at the California Futurity in October.
The American Saddlebred Association of Arizona wishes to thank all of the exhibitors, supporters, volunteers, workers and especially our sponsors for helping to make the 2021 Carousel Charity Horse show our most successful ever! Carousel is our largest event and it wouldn’t be possible without the assistance of countless people who help plan, prepare, work during the event itself, and clean up afterward.
Thank you for helping to make each show day possible!
