About the Let's Go Show

The Let's Go Show All Breed Open Show is a recurring equestrian competition held at Florida Horse Park in Ocala, Florida. True to its name, the show is open to all horse breeds. The organizer describes its goal as a professional, enjoyable and well-run show where riders feel supported, and its 2026 schedule alternates between Florida Horse Park and the Alachua County Equestrian Center.

The October 2026 class list covers halter and showmanship, ranch riding and ranch trail, Western pleasure, hunter under saddle, hunt seat equitation, horsemanship, trail, box and cow horse classes, and a full slate of driving classes. Walk-trot, senior, youth and open divisions run alongside a Rookie division for riders who have not won a day-end award at the show.

For spectators, the three-day format runs classes in several arenas at once. The show does not list a spectator fee, and Florida Horse Park says most horse shows it hosts are free to the public.
