The EMO Celebration has also added new classes to the 2025 schedule that will delight Non-Pro pattern class exhibitors bringing on younger horses. L1 Horse Non-Pro Showmanship, L1 Horse Non-Pro Horsemanship and L1 Horse Non-Pro Hunt Seat Equitation fill a niche that many have been asking for. All three are eligible for the $1,000 in Circuit Award money.
The show has responded to the growth and popularity of Amateur Walk Trot classes by expanding offerings to include W/T Pleasure, Horsemanship, Hunter Under Saddle and Equitation.
With thousands of dollars on the table, spectacular facilities and a fun atmosphere in and out of the arena, it is no wonder The Celebration was named an AQHA Top Ten Show in 2024. Join the Celebration in 2025 and be part of the unforgettable action.
