The National Horse Show looks forward to welcoming exhibitors to this year's event, held at Tryon International, for two weeks of exciting competition. In addition to an exciting new venue, NHS has NEW exhibitor experiences! This year, the National Horse Show will offer two distinct exhibitor experiences: the WSJ Exhibitors Lounge and the NHS Club.

New for 2026, the WSJ Exhibitors Lounge provides a dedicated ringside space for competitors to relax and enjoy the National Horse Show throughout the day. Access is complimentary for all competitors and their families. Competitors and a guest can also enjoy a complimentary breakfast each morning while taking in the action ringside.

For those looking to further elevate their National Horse Show experience, the new NHS Club offers private seating overlooking the ring along with breakfast, lunch, dinner (for classes held after 7:00 p.m.), and an open bar. Tickets and tables for the NHS Club are available for purchase.

Who will be the brave trailblazer for the 2026 NHS ASPCA Maclay National Championship at Tryon International? ✨

Each year, the Perfect Products Trailblazer Award is presented to the rider drawn to compete first in the Maclay National Championship — giving one rider the honor of officially getting one of the National Horse Show’s most anticipated mornings underway.

In 2025, Madison Ramsey was first on course and received the Trailblazer Award before going on to finish third overall in the Maclay National Championship!

Thank you to Perfect Products for their continued support of this special award — and for helping kick off a very early Maclay morning with coffee and donuts!
