ESC Horse Show Network

Welfare & Safety
Horse shows within ESC’s network are committed to providing a competition environment that promotes good sportsmanship, fair competition, and the highest standards of horsemanship. The welfare of the horse and the safety of exhibitors are paramount.

Annual Grants to Shows
All shows in the Equine Sports Council Network receive an annual marketing grant equal to 25% of the Sanctioning Fees collected. $25,000 in payouts earned by shows in 2025 are scheduled for distribution in March 2026.

Never a Membership Fee
ESC is a non-member organization. Horse shows simply subscribe to Equine Sports Council’s sanctioning service, which allows for use of the ESC Rule Book, Class and Judging Specifications and an Independent Grievance and Hearing Process. Shows may elect to do drug testing through ESC’s ISO and ARCI certified lab.

Officials Liability Insurance
ESC Certified Officials receive a $6M Official’s Liability Insurance policy from the National Association of Sports Officials.
