Using this template
Feel free to use on any article about a horse show or a horse show combined with another event, such as a rodeo or trade fair. Advice on filling in each parameter follows.
Name
The official name the event is known by.
Image
Being used for the image of the show, if one is available. It's nice to have a big picture of the whole arena such as the one used on the TWHNC article, but any image of the show is good!
Sanctioning bodies
The associations or groups that hold or sanction the show, such as the AQHA.
Location
Typically will be the town and state where the show is held, although the actual arena or venue can be named if known or if it's well-known.
Held
When the show takes place. Most are annual, so it should read as, "annually, mid-October".
Length
How many days the show lasts.
Sponsors
This can be used to name the largest sponsors, such as SmartPak or other big companies.
Breeds shown
This one is pretty obvious. Most of the big shows are single-breed, but some are multi-breed and have sanctioned classes for horses of different breeds: the National Horse Show holds single-breed classes for Saddlebreds and all-breed classes for hunters.
Largest honor
The most important class, the one whose winner is referred to as "winning the show". Typically this will be a world championship.
Divisions
All the different divisions riders are divided by: youth, amateur, open, non-pro.
Classes
It's not practical to list every single class, but maybe the most important ones can be listed. Possibly classes can be listed by discipline, such as hunter under saddle or reining, with the understanding that each one will be further divided up by the age of horse and ability of the rider.
Qualifying
Whether a horse has to win a specific number of points or classes in other shows to be eligible to compete in this one.
Total purse
Total amount of prize money offered, such as $50,000.
Number of entries
The total number of individual horses entered in the show, not the total number of entries as calculated by adding up all the class entries, as some exhibitors will show one horse in multiple classes.
Attendance
The total number of people who attend over the course of the show.
Slogan
The official slogan, such as "The country's biggest horse show".
Website
The official website for the show. Most of the big shows will have one, but if they do not the website for the sanctioning organization can be listed.
