5th Annual Military Night at the Washington International Horse Show

Join us for our 5th annual Military Night, presented by the Boeing Company. The events on this evening are about speed and power as the WIHS honors the military. Events include the $50,000 Speed Final, a high-test race over a challenging course with jumps close to 5 feet. Guests can also observe the Boeing Company $25,000 Puissance, where riders jump the great wall until only one contender remains without knocking it. This WIHS is one of the few shoes in the US to offer this class. The record to beat is 7’7-1/2,” set at Washington in 1983. Other exhibitions will include an Army v. Navy Celebrity Barrell Racing Competition, a military themed exhibition and a Mounted Colour Guard. Other events include a trophy presented in honor of the Armed Forces, recognition and support for our longstanding Official Military Charity Partner, Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors (TAPS) and the Armed Forces Reception, which benefits local therapeutic riding centers serving the military community. Finally, the Klinger Perpetual Award for Honor and Service presented by Ariat International and EQUUS Foundation will be awarded. Tickets start at 20$ for adults/$10 for children and are available online at Ticketmaster.com or by calling 1-800-745-3000.
