Participants will be divided into two age divisions: 13 & Under and 14–18. Contestants will compete for a variety of prizes, including a $500 scholarship for the high-point individual in each category and Gist Silversmith belt buckles for the high-point team overall in each age division.

Win great prizes! For first through third place, AQHA partners Montana Silversmiths, Professional’s Choice and Noble Outfitters will provide products in the eight core classes in Level 1 youth 13-&-under, Level 1 youth 14-18, Level 1 amateur and Select amateur.
