Come see the versatility, athleticism, and elegance of the American Saddlebred Horse at the 2026 Lexington Junior League Charity Horse Show, July 6-11, 2026, at the KY Horse Park!
With exhibitions and classes, daily events, local vendors, food trucks, and more - there is fun for the whole family!
Created in 1937, to help fund the Junior League’s community works project, the horse show has grown to be the world’s largest outdoor American Saddlebred show and the first leg of the Saddlebred ‘Triple Crown.’
Today, the show attracts approximately 1,000 world-recognized competitors from the U.S. and Canada, and to date, has raised over four million dollars for charitable and civic organizations in Central Kentucky and over five million dollars in revenue for local merchants.

Join us every other month for Book Bingo, where you can walk away a winner with prizes from both International Book Project and Wise Bird Cider. Book sales will begin at 6 PM, and bingo will kick off at 7 PM with rounds for both grown-ups and kids! (Kids' sheets are free, adult sheets are pay-what-you-can). You could walk away with some great reads, gift cards, or swag from your favorite cidery--not sure if bingo is your game? You can support just by grabbing your fave cider anytime between 6-9 PM! We'll be giving back 10% of our cider sales to support IBP, so they can continue the good work they do for our community and beyond. Or you can shop IBP's pop-up book store and enjoy a quiet evening on the patio with your newest read! There are so many ways to be a part of this evening...and so many chances to have FUN!
