Las Vegas, NV – July 12, 2021 – The Las Vegas National CSI4*-W and the Marshall & Sterling Insurance/U.S. Hunter Jumper Association National Championships will again offer exhibitors a horse show experience unlike any other when the events return to the South Point Hotel, Casino & Spa in Las Vegas, NV, this November 16-21.
The newly released show schedule is available to view here and features more classes than ever before, thanks to the continually increasing popularity of the horse show.
Included in the notable enhancements to this year’s show schedule is the addition of a third competition ring. This additional ring in the Priefert Pavilion, as well as a new Covered Warm-Up Arena, will allow for the growth of the Marshall & Sterling Insurance/USHJA National Championships and the horse show as a whole.
“Following the cancellation of the show in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we’re eager to return this year, and we’re thrilled to be able to come back bigger and better than ever,” said Stephanie Lightner, VP of Operations for Blenheim EquiSports, “The addition of the third show ring will enable us to welcome new exhibitors who previously may not have had the opportunity to experience the Las Vegas National, as well as allowing us to work with the USHJA to expand the USHJA National Championship offerings.”
