• The National Show Horse Registry (NSHR) was created to meet a growing need within the equine industry for beautiful show horses with athletic ability, for new excitement and incentives in the show ring and for a broader base for the show horse industry

• The monumental choice for this new breed was an animal that would combine the beauty and stamina of the Arabian with the size and high stepping of the American Saddlebred

• With these two breeds as its foundation the National show horse was forged in 1981 and continues to surpass its own standards
