Kentucky riding traditions live here

Welcome to Western Kentucky’s community arena. We host monthly horse shows, speed events, and family-friendly classes with freshly prepped ground and true local spirit.

Summer Speed & Pleasure Show

Howdy folks!

We are going to run a 2 hour delayed start time on the show Saturday to help keep the horses and riders out of the heat a little. Flag at 4:30. Classes start at 5:00. Speed not to start before 7:30. Let’s horse show!

Let’s have some fun and horse show! This months theme is Christmas in July. Best dressed competitor and horse get a PRIZE!

Non-members welcome. Gate admission is five dollars; children under six enter free.

Arena Life

Built for local riders

We keep our facility community-focused, safe, and organized for every generation of Kentucky equestrians.

Freshly prepped ground

All-ages classes

The concession stand

Our tractor crew works the arena dirt before every class, ensuring a safe, consistent footing for speed runs and pleasure classes alike.

From lead-line divisions for the youngest riders to open barrel racing, our monthly show bills offer competitive spots for every skill level.

A community show isn't complete without hot food. Our volunteer-run kitchen serves up warm meals and cold drinks from gates-open to the final ribbon.

Keep the tradition alive

West Marshall Riding Club runs on volunteer hours, local sponsorships, and a shared love for the horse. Join as a member to secure your points for the season.
