Sunday exhibitions of the beautiful Arabian horse were started by Mr. Kellogg in 1926, and Cal Poly Pomona is now privileged to carry on this Southern California tradition. Their purpose has always been to promote interest in the Arabian breed and to educate the horse loving public to the versatility, beauty, and intelligence of these animals. The shows are held in a specially designed arena with covered stands.
The program features the Arabian horse, both under English and western tack. In the first instance, the qualities of a pleasure horse and jumper are demonstrated. In the latter, utility as a trail horse and as an intelligent and versatile horse for pleasure use are demonstrated.The Arabian horse further demonstrates its intelligence, and the students their training ability, in the liberty and trick horse acts. In fine harness, the grace and action desired in a pleasure driving horse are demonstrated.Training and handling are accomplished entirely by the University's students and staff, and the show program is designed to demonstrate the versatility and fine qualities of the Arabian breed.
