The Monarch National Championship joins the ESC Network, with 50+ Shows Offering Qualifying Classes

Over 50+ shows have joined the Monarch Series to date. Equine Sports Council’s mission – to provide rules, standards, support and promotion for horse shows across the country – closely mirrors the Monarch mission and we are thrilled that their National Championship has joined the ESC Network.

In 2019 a vision was formed to support mainstream American Saddlebred horse shows across the country and offer a “Crown Jewel” for this core market. This concept resulted in the Monarch Series, now with over 55 qualifying shows offered all across the United States. The National Championship will be held October 1-4, 2020 at the Illinois State Fair Grounds.

Equine Sports Council and the Monarch Series will be represented at the UPHA Convention next week in Lexington, KY.  Stop by the ESC vendor booth to find out more about our organization, take a look at our Rules & Standards, and talk to a representative about joining our network. 

The Monarch Series Mission:

• Network mainstream horse shows across the country and offer a Crown Jewel competition for this core market, to inject a new level of excitement and inclusiveness for competitors that enjoy competing regionally.

• Provide a next step for Academy competitors as well as levels of advancement within this competitive space.

• Support regionally run horse shows by requiring competitors to compete in at least four horse shows within the Monarch Network to qualify for the Monarch Show Series National Championship.

• Support American Saddlebred breeders by highlighting another competitive space in which to market horses.
