The Lexington Junior League Horse Show was begun in 1937 by Marie Kittrell as a way to make money for charity.
The first show was held at The Red Mile, a harness racing track, because it only cost a dollar to rent the venue.
In 2018, it moved to Rolex Stadium at the Kentucky Horse Park, also located in Lexington.
