Love horses? Trot over to the Verizon Center (601 F Street) on Tuesday, October 26 through Sunday, October 31 to experience the Washington International Horse Show. Leap at the chance to see Olympic-class horses and riders and experience Kids Day, Barn Night, special exhibitions and more.

This championship event celebrates its 52nd year in the Washington metropolitan area and its 11th year in Downtown. Don’t miss the show jumping and hunter and equitation competitions, as well as terrier races, bull riding and dressage.

Kids Day, located in a tent outside the Verizon Center on Saturday, October 30, offers the little ones free pony rides, arts and crafts and the chance to see a horse grooming station from 10:00 am to 2:00 pm. The kid-centric Barn Night will return at 6:00 pm on Thursday, October 28, welcoming local barns and horse enthusiasts. Competitions, special exhibitions, contests for kids and teens—including banner and costume challenges—will dominant the evening.
