MURFREESBORO, Tenn. - - The Pyramid Society
hosted the 33rd Annual "Music City Arabian Horse Show" at the Middle Tennessee
Miller Coliseum on Nov. 17 and 18.
This breed-specific event was created to
provide one last showing opportunity to the Arabian horse community. There was
no over-all show champion because the show provided classes in every area.
However, several blue ribbons were given out that weekend to competitors from
all over the state.
“We’re normally finished for the season, but a show like this
gives people a chance to add one more show to their season as well as introduce
green horses to the show world,” said Nichole Wise atop winner BZ Skyler.
Though the turnout for the show was small,
according to committee member Jeanne Abernathy, it gave equestrians the “chance
to show off their horses against others of the same breed instead of having to
compare to breeds that are built differently than the Arabian.”
There were more than 160 classes offered for
riders of every discipline including Western Pleasure, English Pleasure,
Halter, Reining and Costume classes. There was no age limit for horse or rider.
An internationally recognized organization, the
Pyramid Society is committed to the art of breeding Egyptian Arabian horses.
They are also dedicated to the preservation, perpetuation and promotion of this
breed. The Pyramid Society offers seminars and events as well as the National
Egyptian Breeder’s Conference to develop knowledgeable breeders. By doing this,
the society is helping to ensure that the breed meets the qualifications to be
recognized as a Straight Egyptian Arabian.
