Celebrating its landmark 80th anniversary this year, the River Ridge Charity Horse Show remains a definitive staple of the American Saddlebred community. Frequently referred to as "The Little Louisville Show," the event has earned a national reputation for attracting elite equine talent and top-tier riders, mirroring the prestige of the World’s Championship. Beyond the competition, River Ridge is distinguished by its dedication to the exhibitor experience, offering world-class hospitality through its legendary social gatherings and curated dining.

The show’s influence extends far beyond the local arena, utilizing a live webcast that commands a global audience reaching as far as South Africa, thereby providing significant exposure and value for both owners and corporate sponsors. Central to its mission is a long-standing commitment to philanthropy; River Ridge continues to provide vital support to the Diabetes Associations in the Ohio River Valley, as well as the Ohio State University Dr. Scott Bennet Scholarship Program. This synergy of high-level sport and community service solidifies the show's legacy as a premier institution in the equestrian world.
