An Equine Production
TSQHA, Harlansburg/New Castle, PA.
The first show of the year for the TSQHA group is May 12-13. A tweaked schedule, Trail, and Ranch Riding jackpot classes and more improvements for the showing opportunities. Call 724-825-2073 for stall or RV reservations.
Do not forget the new health requirements. Complete details are on the showbill.
The SOQHA Challenge is just around the corner.If you are a YOUTH – sign up for the Challenge portion. What is this? It is like the traditional high point awards BUT you select THREE performance classes and ONE halter class. These are the only classes that will count. At the end of the show, winners in MANY divisions will win MONEY! How about $1,500 to the 13 & under and 14-18 champions? Even the Small Fry will award $1,000 to the champion, AND reserve divisions are just as nice. If you are showing BOTH the Challenge and the Madness, be prepared with separate payment.
The Ohio Quarter Horse Foundation is excited to announce that we will be bringing the Congress Classroom to the SOQHA Challenge and Madness shows again in 2018! We recognize that it is not easy to stay on top of your academics or work while competing so we will be providing wireless internet and a printer to help you do all your work while at the show. See you at the World Equestrian Center. If you have questions, please contact Shari Tordoff 614-571-3872
