This year we’re in a brand-new location: the North Wing Lobby, right beside Freedom Hall. Quick access, plenty of space, but far enough away from the barns to not disturb any slumbering horses while we dance the night away.

The night will be emceed by Toad and Logan Herrin and will feature a pageant competition to crown Mr. and Ms. American Saddlebred, a live auction of unique experiences, and as always a vibrant dance floor.

Who will take the crown? It’s up to YOU!
A panel of judges—aided by the crowd’s cheers—will award category winners and the biggest fundraisers will be crowned Mr. & Ms. American Saddlebred.

Vote for your favorite and track the fierce competition.

Guests are invited to don their most dazzling outfits that sparkle under the dance floor’s lights.

You won’t want to miss it!
