All Ohio Show Horse Organization

Welcome to the All Ohio Show Horse Organization web page!

All Ohio Show Horse Organization is a non-profit organization
formed to improve opportunities of the show horse and pony.
This organization strives to improve the light horse and pony
breeds and promote horse shows that are interesting and
entertaining to the spectators.

All Ohio Show Horse Organization was founded in the early
1960's for the "show" horse. This organization was formed
initially for the American Saddlebreds, Arabians, Morgans,
Tennessee Walking Horses, and Hackneys. The showbill at this
time offered five gaited classes, parade classes and more classes
for the American Saddlebreds and Hackneys. There were very
little classes offered to the stock horses initially, which has
changed over the years.

Unlike today's shows, there were no contest classes included.
In the rulebook it stated that no timed events would be
permitted. Contest was not added until the late 1980's.

This organization continues promoting the various breeds and
disciplines and membership continues to grow with over 70
members. This volunteer-ran organization continues to sponsor
shows and hosts an annual youth team tournament which draws
youth from all parts of Ohio to compete.
