Started in 1899, The Warrenton Horse Show Association (WHSA) is the oldest continuously-operating corporation in the Commonwealth of Virginia. The WHSA is a volunteer-run, community-based organization that represents the interests of horse show enthusiasts, competitors, horse breeders and the community of Warrenton. The WHSA operates the historic showgrounds and conducts the annual Warrenton Horse Show (WHS).

The WHSA aims to give all riders, handlers and horses the experience of a higher rated show in a relaxed, hospitable environment and at a lower cost. Its goal is to educate and encourage more exhibitors to explore the sport of horse showing and to compete at a top-notch facility with a highly-respected staff. It also aims to share the experience of Warrenton’s ‘Labor Day Tradition’ with the entire community.

As a volunteer-run show, we could not put on a great show for competitors, trainers, owners and the whole community without sponsors, donors, volunteers and vendors. We are so grateful for their support. Please let us know if you would like to get involved in this historic community event.
