Around the Rings: Florida PHC 2026 Holiday Classic-Shamrocks and Snowflakes

It’s no surprise the Florida Paint Horse Club took their usual inventiveness to recreate their Holiday Classic, delayed due to the late 2025 EHV outbreak, into another marvelous event! Their reimagined Holiday Classic POR, together with Shamrocks and Snowflakes, made a splash at WEC-Ocala March 12-15, 2026.

Read on for the show summary from FPHC President Amanda Palmer, including high points, as well as Chrome Cash winners from Thursday and Friday, thanks to Sara Torres.

What a show we had this past weekend at the BEST facility on earth — World Equestrian Center – Ocala!

We had incredible numbers, FREE clinics, A Ride the Pattern event, complimentary sweatshirts, Exhibitor welcome bags, new exhibitor gifts (we welcomed over 35 new exhibitors), amazing circuit awards and High Point awards, and most important of all . . . . . . . . FUN!!!! How about those Chrome Cash payouts totaling over $20,000 and 4 NSBA $1,000 added Trophy classes.

With almost 1,000 APHA entries per judge, we are EXCITED to see those Paynt Point payout checks this year!  A huge thank you to all of our judges and staff for ensuring our shows run smoothly — we truly appreciate each of you. Special thanks to our fantastic ring staff this weekend, Casey Orr and Daren Wright!!!!

What an incredible weekend — we can’t wait to do it again! Be on the lookout for more details for our 2026 show season especially the exciting details for the $100,000 Money added show in September at the World Equestrian Center – Ocala.
