38th Annual
Alabama State Championship Horse Show
August 29th to 31st, 2025
The Alabama Open Horseman Association (AOHA) is comprised of fourteen independent horse show associations located throughout the State of Alabama and select locations of Florida, Georgia, Mississippi and Tennessee. The goal of AOHA is the promotion and sponsorship of our State Championship Horse Show, held each Labor Day weekend, and development and support of the youth who show and compete within the AOHA. The State Championship Horse Show will celebrate its 38th year of existence in 2025 and continues to be the largest and most successful horse show east of the Mississippi River. Contestants wishing to compete in the Show must qualify by successful participation throughout the year in the shows of the local associations, and only the top horses from those associations may register to enter the State Championship Show. Classes are open to all breeds of horse and pony; for youth and adults; and classes for halter, timed events, English and Western pleasure, Ranch, and Gaited. Presented awards are buckles, plaques, trophies, and saddles. For further information contact an association director in your area or any AOHA Director or Officer
