You probably already know that the All American Quarter Horse Congress is the largest single-breed horse show in the world, but did you know that there are over 21,000 horse show entries tabulated during the event or that there are 200 registered Quarter Horses sold at the Congress Super Sale?
The official Congress Countdown Clock is set at 83 days and counting… The event will take place October 6th-30th in Columbus, Ohio. Remember, entries are due August 25th.

STALL PAYMENTS
Multiple checks, money orders, or credit cards will be accepted as payment for entry and stall fees. Entries for exhibitors wishing to stall together must be received in one envelope.
