Polina Kouzmina & Carson Ehret • Canadian Nationals: Come for the Competition, Stay for the Fun

The Canadian National Arabian Championship is more than another horse show. For many, it’s a reunion, a tradition, a proving ground, and one of the most welcoming championship experiences in the Arabian horse community.

Listen in with Paul Kostial and a lively chat with Canadian amateur exhibitor, Polina Kouzmina, and professional trainer, Carson Ehret, as they share their personal experiences at Canadian Nationals and explain what keeps exhibitors coming back year after year.

Polina and Carson talk about the show’s famous Canadian hospitality, the deep history of Arabian horses on the Canadian Prairies, the importance of cross-border participation between Canada and the United States, and the incredible camaraderie that exists even among fierce competitors.

They also revisit an idea longtime Arabian horse enthusiasts will remember well: the North American Arabian Triple Crown of Scottsdale, Canadian Nationals, and U.S. Nationals.

From unforgettable wins and lifelong friendships to the simple advice of “don’t be intimidated,” this conversation is an invitation to experience Canadian Nationals for yourself.

Come for the competition. Stay for the hospitality, the friendships, and the fun.
