Riders & Ribbons Academy shows are horse shows for riders in lesson programs to test their skills by competing in a safe and inspiring environment. Every rider receives a ribbon.

The first show will be announced for a date in May in the AgStar Arena located at the Minnesota State Fairgrounds in St. Paul, MN.

Academy Equestrian Finals are held in conjunction with the Minnesota Saddlebred State Championship Horse Show.

Finals are scheduled for Saturday, October 15, 2022 at Minnesota Equestrian Center in Winona, MN.

To qualify you must show three times in the same type of class (walk & trot vs. walk/trot/canter) in an MSHA approved horse show in the Academy division.
