Working Equitation Goes Online - Spotlight Horse Shows Announces New Working Equitation Division

October 17, 2026

The new Working Equitation division will utilize USA Working Equitation (USAWE) dressage tests and include both Dressage and Ease of Handling trials. Because of the online format, riders can participate from their own facilities, riders have the opportunity to experience the discipline, develop their skills, and compete without the need to travel to an in-person event.

The inaugural show will be presented by Brook Hollow Equestrian Center. Riders are invited to review the prize list and complete show details online at:
