For the rider's parents and siblings, the shows provide an opportunity to increase their respect for the rider's accomplishments and to offer positive feedback. Horse Show since 1994. This is a horse show for riders with disabilities from throughout Virginia, held annually in October at the Virginia Horse Center in Lexington.
