Roanoke Valley Horse Show

The Roanoke Valley Horse Show, established in 1972 by the Roanoke Valley Horsemens Association, is a prestigious equestrian event recognized by the United States Equestrian Federation as a USEF Heritage Competition, the highest honor for horse shows. Originally held at the Salem Civic Center, the show relocated to the Virginia Horse Center in Lexington, Virginia, where it continues to showcase top-level competition in various equestrian disciplines.

This nonprofit organization not only promotes equestrian sports but also contributes to the local economy with an estimated annual impact of $1.3 million. Proceeds from the event benefit health and human service organizations in the region, while also supporting equine environmental and conservancy causes.
