AQHA Publicity
The 2020 AQHA Select World Championship Show, presented by Adequan® (polysulfated glycosaminoglycan), will be held in conjunction with the AQHA World Championship Show, slated for November 5-21 at the OKC Fairgrounds in Oklahoma City. The Adequan® Select World, originally scheduled for August 31 – September 6 at the Will Rogers Memorial Center in Fort Worth, Texas, was postponed to help protect the health and safety of Select exhibitors, due to the coronavirus pandemic.
“AQHA greatly appreciates the Will Rogers Memorial Center staff and management for their understanding during this unprecedented time,” said Justin Billings, AQHA chief show officer. “We look forward to the opportunity to still host the Adequan® Select World in 2020 to highlight our Select exhibitors on the world stage this fall in Oklahoma City. The OKC Fairgrounds staff has also been extremely helpful with making modifications to be able to host the show this November. We are thankful for the support of both facilities during this challenging time.”
The tentative schedule will be posted at www.aqha.com/worldshow, once the schedule is modified to accommodate the additional classes and reviewed by the AQHA Professional Horsemen and Show councils.
As a reminder, members who originally entered the Adequan® Select World will automatically receive a full refund. If an exhibitor does not receive the refund within three weeks of the postponement announcement, contact worldshow@aqha.org. Exhibitors will have the option to enter the AQHA World Show when entry information is released in September.
