An Equine Production has now posted the showbill for the SOQHA Summer Finale that will be held August 22-23 at the World Equestrian Center in Wilmington, Ohio. The event will be triple-judged and held at the same time as the APHA Buckeye Bonanza. Judges will be Robert Dehn, Mike Hay, and Bruce Walquist.

APHA is excited to introduce the following 2020-2021 AjPHA Executive Committee candidates; the AjPHA Executive Committee positions will be selected by an online vote by AjPHA national directors (details coming soon to national directors via email).

In western showmanship and English showmanship, judges and exhibitors must remain at least 6 feet apart to maintain social distancing guidelines. Therefore, exhibitors should be instructed to stop at least 6′ from the Judge when setting up for and during inspection. Exhibitors shall not be penalized for stopping this distance from the Judge. Judges should be careful to maintain social distancing requirements when inspecting showmanship horses.

“We are excited to officially launch these six new classes that the AQHA Show, IT and Project Management departments worked diligently to complete for our members,” said Justin Billings, chief show officer. “The additional classes allow exhibitors from English, western and ranch-horse disciplines new options to compete with their American Quarter Horses. The classes are now available for show management to add to AQHA-sanctioned events, which will be held pending local, state and federal mandates.”
