Launched in 2013, this series is designed to showcase the versatility and athleticism of all Thoroughbreds - raced and unraced. The shows highlight the successful transition from race horse to sport horse of racing's greatest stars - the horses.
Held at various locations across Southern California, TCHS is the only exclusive Thoroughbred show on the West Coast. Including classes in Hunters, Jumpers, Equitation, Dressage, Eventing, Combined Training, Western and Showmanship - there is something for every horse and rider of all disciplines and experience levels. With parties for competitors, an annual Trainer-Jockey Calcutta in December and more than $5,000 in prize money up for grabs at each show; if you have a Thoroughbred, this is the show for you and if you don't, it's time to adopt a retired race horse!
