Recently we asked our readers: Why is your horse show dog the best horse show dog? We certainly received a lot of adorable photos in response. See them below – you can click on the photos to enlarge them:

Julie Campbell Harnish

Loyal and lovable. Great ambassadors at our stalls.

Laurel Walker Denton

Ears make a person happy!

Holly Wilson

Lucy is super portable, she keeps the floor of the LQ crumb free, and she’s always up for adventure no matter where the show might be!

Amy Fortner Richmond

Trixie Belle comforted me any time I stayed overnight in our camper or trailer. It wasnt often but it was enough. She was the best snuggler, boss, goofball ever. She completed me and was the love of my life. If you met her, you loved her. Sadly we lost her to cancer in July at the age of 12.

We did a professional photo shoot 2 weeks before, just for her.

Nigel is a professional horse show dog and win pic poser. He never leaves my side and knows how to navigate an alley full of horses like a champ. Horse shows wouldn’t be the same without him.

Kate Hair

Sammy Girl loves going to horse shows and staying in the living quarters of our trailer! This is her first year going to shows she just turned 1 year old.

Carly Estreich-Lueck

Bonnie! When you walk around and people you don’t know say “Hi Bonnie!” You know she has made a ton of friends. Not only does she help cheer me on during the day, she’s my trusty assistant and keeps me safe while I am braiding the horses at night.

Olivia Kaplan

My boy Remington handled his first Congress like a pro! Whether it’s a full day at the barn or a long horse show day, he’s always the best sidekick ❤️.

Rose Mason

Max and Velcro love playing with the other dog, but yet very obedient.

Erin Longworth

Caesar and Opie – they like to cheer everyone on!

Melanie Thurston

I don’t know if mine is “the best” but she does have her own win photo from the Big-A Dog Race a few years ago. Love my Moxie girl! (Photo credit: Ruehle Photographix)

Emily Maul

Rocky is the best horse show dog because he’ll make sure it’s never quiet in the stands. Awake or sleeping you will be sure to hear him! 😂❤️ but overall he’s just one lovable boy!

Keli Ward- Harrelson

Crystal Gayle always there with ringside support ♥️.

Kaity Arthur

My dog is the world’s best horse show dog! (Confirmed by multiple others). She is the best because all she does is sleep. Sleeps in her chair at the stalls, sleeps in the sun, sleeps in the trailer. She never causes trouble, barks or bothers anyones dogs 💜💜 also- because she adores her horse, Manny.

Dallas Reyes

Chico Miguel and Rikki Tikki Tavi love the horse show life ❤️….the people, the horses and most importantly the food booths 😂.

Dodie Howard

Roscoe P has been the best dog ever💜 addicted to milkbones and his mom😂 but seriously everyone that meets him loves him!

Sandy DuBose

JJ Watts Jr, greatest horse show dog ever! Went to his first show at 2 months and hasn’t missed many in the 7 years since. Guards the tack room like a Doberman. Nobody goes inside when he’s on watch. Loves everybody he meets. Keeps me company when I travel by myself.

Alyssa Wright

Loves his people and naps at any time of the day.

Casey Engelhorn

My wire haired dachshund CH. Doxitrains Rotten Robert MW (Robert) is the best horse show dog because he’s a showman himself and loves the spotlight! In fact since he’s been retired he’s kind of jealous when he comes to a show and the horse gets the attention! But at 17 years old he still throws himself out at the end of the lead and sets himself up. He was my jr showmanship dog, he flew on my lap when we competed at Westminster dog show. Everyone loves Robert❤️.

Kimm McDowell

Our Golden, Winnie, is the absolute best horse show dog! She acts like the horses are just big dogs, gets along with any dog that approaches her, but minds her own business and stays close by her barn group. She also has a big repertoire of tricks to amuse kids and admirers any time 💕.
