Salon du Cheval de Paris
Equestrians’ favorite show.
Since 1972, the Salon du Cheval de Paris has brought together all horse and riding enthusiasts, professionals and amateurs alike, to enjoy a rich variety of events, including entertainment, competitions, conferences and visits to exhibition booths.
It is also an opportunity to exchange ideas and learn more about French equine and equestrian institutions (FFE, IFCE, etc.) and vocational training courses (Afasec, vocational colleges, sports studies, etc.) or to boost professional careers at the show’s job center.

World Arabian Horse Championship
A unique event!
The most beautiful Arabian thoroughbreds in the world have gathered in Paris every year since 1980 for a conformation and movement competition.
With the World Arabian Horse Championship, the most prestigious competition of the season brings together around 1,000 VIPs every day, mainly from the Middle East, the United States, Europe and beyond. Visitors come to marvel at the 100 best horses in the world. The event is an incredible showcase for breeders from around 30 countries.
Sometimes held in parallel with the Paris Horse Show, visitors have a chance to discover this less-known area of horsemanship.
Following a successful partnership with Katara, which led to the first relocation of the Championship to Doha, Qatar, in 2023, and driven by our determination to progress and expand our wonderful event even further, we are partnering with the Global Champions Arabians Tour to make the World Championship the final event of this international series, under a new name: ‘World Arabian Horse Championship Supreme’.
Organized by CENECA and ASO (Arabian Show Organizers).
