About this race

The UPHA Young Professionals and EAC Equine, Inc. present the UPHA One Lap Classic--the ultimate finale of Thursday evening at the UPHA/American Royal National Championship. 

Join us for the UPHA One Lap Classic, a fun and creative fundraising event bringing professionals and amateur/junior riders and drivers together! Each team, consisting of one professional and one amateur or juvenile, will take a lap of the show ring at the gait of their choice. Creativity, costumes, and fun are encouraged! Judges will select the class winner and award ribbons, while spectators determine the Crowd Favorite through team fundraising.

COST & ENTRY: Entries are limited to the first 20 teams signed up through the online portal. The entry fee is $200 per entry. $100 of this entry fee will benefit the UPHA Young Professionals, and the other $100 will benefit the UPHA/American Royal National Championship Horse Show. Teams must sign up on the online donation website and pay the fee to the horse show office.

Teams that raise a minimum of $1,000 (raised by noon the day of the event) will have the opportunity to pick theme music for their laps!

Is the horse for sale? Let us know; we will help promote it!

Come out, support your favorite team, and help make every lap count!

Join us for this extraordinary event and help support the UPHA Young Professionals and the UPHA Foundation!
