I have not gotten any prizelists and would like to take my TB to some shows. Does anyone know if there is a website I can go to to find these shows???
Not sure where in PA/MD you’re looking for, but I know there are shows at Loch Moy, Lytles is hosting one sometime, Washington County Horse Council is doing one up that way, and there are a bunch more here: http://www.thoroughbredalliance.org/TBAlliance-member-shows.html

There may be some on the TIP calender as well, though those aren’t necessarily TB-only shows, just shows offering TB classes or awards.
BEST Horse Shows have a good smattering of TB class offerings. They aren’t strictly TB-breed only, however. The facility is very nice (Prince George Equestrian Center) and from what I’ve heard, they run a decently tight ship in terms of gate times but the schooling ring can get quite ridiculous…
There’s a BEST show next weekend that offers OTTB classes:

We’ll be there dabbling in some jumpers!
Maryland State Fair has a TB Hunter Show. Entry fees are low and the paybacks help to offset the cost. Stalls are included with your entry, so you can come the night before and do some desensitizing of the lights, noise and activity.
Unfortunately, the entries closed on July, 31. If you are really interested in attending you can try calling the fair office.

There is a TB show at Fair Hill in September.
Ack the Lytles TB show is this weekend - today was hunters, jumpers are tomorrow starting around 10:00… they are in Dickerson, MD off Rt 28
HIGHLY suggest Thoroughbred Alliance Show Series. I have only been to the VA shows but the folks at these show are SO nice. I’m hoping to make it to some MD TASS shows next year!
I agree, the thoroughbred alliance shows are great. I hate that I haven’t been able to attend any this year.
The Fair Hill thoroughbred (aka From Furlongs to Fences) show is also great, it is my favorite TB show, I wish they could work it out to incorporate it with TASS.

BEST is good. They have 2’3 Green OTTB and 2’6 OTTB Hunter divisions on Saturday in Ring 2. Neither division penalizes for simple lead changes which is pretty awesome. They are qualifiers for the TB Celebration Show in Lexington, VA.
There’s also a 2’6 OTTB jumper division in the covered arena both Saturday and Sunday.
TB Celebration is under new management this year. There is no more stakes class with qualifiers at other shows
