Fort Worth, Texas, a city known for its Western culture, is home to a multitude of high-level equine competitions. Among those competitions is the American Miniature Horse Association World Championship Show, where the best Miniature Horses and equestrians gather at the Will Rogers Memorial Center to showcase the breed’s talents.

The 2024 World Show is already underway in the Will Rogers Coliseum, continuing from September 20 through September 28. The youth competitors are first up, showing their Mini Horses through Wednesday, September 25. Open and amateur classes will close out the final four days of the World Show.

Nearly 300 classes will be contested at the AMHA World Show, with competitors showing their Miniature Horses in a variety of classes and disciplines—among them halter, showmanship, hunters, jumpers, and various types of driving classes.

The AMHA World Show returns to Fort Worth each year, just 30 miles north of the association’s headquarters in Alvarado, Texas. Founded in 1978, the AMHA is the world’s leading Miniature Horse registry with more than 240,000 registered horses and upwards of 6,000 members across 38 countries and provinces.

The event is open to the public, with only a parking fee required. All AMHA World Show classes can be viewed in the historic Will Rogers Coliseum.
