Fast Food Giant, Wendy’s, to Sponsor Freestyle Reining at Dixie Nationals

JACKSON, MS. – January 8, 2019

With preparations underway for the Dixie National Quarter Horse Show, the Mississippi Quarter Horse Association is pleased to announce the addition of Wendy’s as a Corporate Sponsor of the 2019 event. Scheduled for February 12-17, 2019 at the State Fairgrounds in Jackson, MS, Wendy’s has come on board as sponsor of the Freestyle Reining event which will take place Friday night, February 15, 2019.

The Freestyle Reining has become the highlight of the Dixie National Quarter Horse Show and truly demonstrates the great physical ability of the American Quarter Horse. In this class, horse and rider perform reining maneuvers to music and the combination of the two makes for a spectacular show. Approximately 6,000 spectators will journey to Jackson, MS to witness this communication of horse and rider, making the Freestyle Reining a crowd favorite.

Aprille Watts, President Mississippi Quarter Horse Association, says “We are pleased to have Wendy’s as part of our team. We look forward to a long relationship with them as we have with our other corporate sponsors, that include Watson Quality Ford, John Deere, MS Ag, Puckett Rents, Outback Steakhouse, Chimneyville Smokehouse, & Elite Custom Saddlery, just to name a few.

“We are very proud to partner with the Dixie National Quarter Show this year,” comments Brian McDaniel, SVP of Operations Carlisle, a franchisee of Wendy’s. “While the show is based in Jackson, it is truly a statewide, even regional event. Our restaurant footprint nicely aligns with the show’s reach, and we know the people that attend the show also enjoy the fresh, never frozen beef we serve on all our burgers. We welcome everyone to Jackson for the show, and it will be our pleasure to serve you at any of our area Wendy’s restaurants while in town.”
