Showcase Division – 2026 Dakota Showdown.
This is where training meets performance.
The Showcase Division is our most competitive riding division, featuring horses with a solid foundation who are ready to take the next step in their training and development under saddle.
2026 Showcase Trainers:
These horses, ages 4–14, come in with prior handling and groundwork, and are typically ready to begin or continue saddle work within the first few weeks. Trainers will focus on refining skills, building confidence, and developing well-rounded riding partners.
While each horse may come with its own challenges, this division highlights progression, consistency, and the partnership required to take a horse to the next level.
This is where we see the finishing touches — and where the competition really begins.
We’re looking forward to watching these teams step into the arena over the coming months.
