Around the Rings: 2026 All American Youth Horse Show

The 57th Annual All American Youth Horse Show just finished up after their May 7-10, 2026 run at the Ohio Expo Center & Fairgrounds in Columbus, OH.

The show was open to exhibitors 18 years of age or under on 1/1/26.

AAYHS began in 1968 as a way to provide building funds for the Franklin County Fairgrounds in Central Ohio.

The first show was held over 2 ½ days, and it has now grown to a national show that takes place over 4 days with multiple judges and arenas.

The nonprofit show is run by volunteers, and it offers a scholarship program and a sponsor incentive program.
