Entries still open in all classes - view the schedule on our website www.american-saddlebred.co.uk and the link to Equoevents to enter. Entries close 10th May, so don't miss out on the deadline. You can also enter by PM or email too ([email protected])

The day before, at the same venue, is the HOPE Spring Show - why not have a great weekend?

As per Showing Council Guidelines 3 helpers are allowed per horse or pony entered.

We look forward to seeing you all at our annual event.

Signs will be up at the showground for our May Festival Show.

It's outdoors, so there are no issues with you watching from the ringside (there's plenty of space), but remember to stay in your bubbles and socially distance.

Food will be a take-away service, but please wear a mask when going inside to order and collect your food.

If there are any one way systems in place, please follow them.

And, most importantly, remember to wash/sanitise your hands regularly throughout the day.

Our May Festival Show on 16th May is outdoors (all on surface, including warm up), so although the current guidelines indicate indoor venues cannot be used until 17th May, this will not impact on our show.

It is being run as a Covid compliant event, which means pre entries only (schedule can be found on our website www.american-saddoebred.co.uk), as can the link to enter via Equoevents and to book stabling directly with Weston Lawns. Entries close 5th May, those already entered can enter additional classes on the day (if the classes aren't full)

Thinking of entering our sport horses classes at the USUAK May Festival Show on 16th May?

You can find all the rules for showing in our Handbook and in our Showing Guidelines pdf files on our website (www.american-saddlebred.co.uk), as well as the schedule and links to enter the show and book your stables.

The show is open to all pure and part foreign breeds as well as having open breed youth, novice and concours classes.

It is held at Weston Lawns near Coventry and the day before is the HOPE Spring Show, so you can make a weekend of it.

Our popular magazine "Show Horse News" will be out in June and will include full results and photos from our May Festival Show, as well as a breed round up and breed features (we cover all foreign breeds not just Saddlebreds).

If you have show news (news of forthcoming shows for foreign breeds in the second half of the year), want to be featured (we have room for various articles), or have services, stallions or horses (foreign breeds) for sale and want an advert to be included please get in touch with us at [email protected]

Inclusion of breed news is FREE from all breed societies - a great way to let others known what you have been up to, or what you have planned for the rest of the year.

Our magazine is free for USAUK members, but can also be purchased by non-members too (£9.99 including postage to UK mainland if ordered and paid for before 31st May) and we have a world wide audience.

This year we are at Weston Lawns on 16th May (www.american-saddlebred.co.uk for schedule and link for online schedule entries and stable bookings), but we will still have our gorgeous rosettes, sashes, garlands and trophies on offer.

All foreign breeds welcome - all qualifiers for the APHS Foreign Breed National Finals too. We have two rings running, each with their own warm up ring and the show is being run as Covid compliant.

We welcome all our past and new competitors and look forward to seeing you all on the 16th May. Pre-entries only, so don't miss the closing date.

Thinking of entering our equitation class at the USAUK May Festival Show on 16th May?

It's similar to a best rider class, except there is a set pattern to ride and both the rail and the individual pattern are scored.

Pattern can be found in our schedule on our website www.american-saddlebred.co.uk

Don't forget, pre-entries only and these can be made online via Equoevents
