It's hard to believe that Freedom Run Horse Shows and Steady Strides Riding Center are preparing for the fourth year of the Tucson Fall Horse Shows. What felt like the beginning of a new venture has quickly grown into three successful years of competition, community, and growth. None of this would have been possible without the support of our sponsors, whose generosity has helped breathe new life into the Tucson Fall Horse Shows.
Sponsor support has allowed us to make significant improvements, including:
The party paddock — Updated with comfortable furniture and serves as the site of our nightly catered parties with entertainment.
The jumper ring — New jumps and decorations.
The hunter ring — New improvements to jumps and decorations for 2026.
Prize table — Expanded year after year to offer better prizes for competitors.
New Classes — New for 2026, USHJA Zone 8 HOTY Championship and the USHJA Hunter Derby Team Challenge.
Steady Strides Riding Center programming — Increased financial assistance for riders, purchase of new lesson horses, and purchase of arena drag equipment.
As we have watched rated horse shows throughout Arizona and neighboring states disappear in recent years, we have become even more aware of how important it is to keep the Tucson Horse Shows thriving. We need affordable and accessible show opportunities for everyone so our sport can continue to grow.
Please consider becoming a sponsor of the 2026 Tucson Fall Horse Shows. We offer sponsorship opportunities at a variety of levels so that everyone can participate and make an impact.
