In the last three decades, Capital Challenge has grown exponentially and expanded its competition schedule to 11 days. Since its inception in 1994, Capital Challenge has established itself as a premier year-end horse show destination for competitors throughout North America.“It is so remarkable to see how Capital Challenge Horse Show has grown over the past 30 years,” shared Capital Challenge co-founder and show manager Oliver Kennedy. “We are proud to showcase elite competition year after year with the support of our sponsors and loyal exhibitors. I am personally excited to see how we continue to build on this legacy in the years to come.”

The 2023 edition of the Capital Challenge Horse Show will begin with Equitation Weekend, presented by BIGEQ.COM, featuring four days of elite competition.

The 2023 schedule then turns to hunter and jumper competition where the country’s best horse-and-rider combinations vie for championship and final titles. Throughout the week, the show will offer World Championship Hunter Rider (WCHR) Hunter Challenges for amateurs, juniors, children, ponies, developing professionals, and the coveted WCHR Professional Challenge. Exhibitors will also enjoy watching the top six hunter riders in the country go head-to-head in the WCHR Professional Finals.
