With the growth the Congress has seen over the last several years, there is a need for additional Congress workers this fall. OQHA is looking for passionate people from all areas of the quarter horse world who will enjoy interacting with Congress attendees and exhibitors in a fast-paced environment. Opportunities are available throughout the Congress grounds and we welcome all levels of Quarter Horse expertise!

In 2018, an expanded entry fee structure replaces the Select Sale, and all Breeders’ Trust-nominated Regular Registry Paints are eligible to enter the Farnam Pleasure Stakes. Additionally, all Breeders’ Trust-nominated solid Paint-breds who have been genetically tested and carry a known Paint pattern marker (Tobiano; Frame Overo; Sabino 1; Splash White 1, 2 or 3; Dominant White 5, 10 or 20, confirmed through APHA-approved genetic testing) are eligible to compete with the Regular Registry horses.

“Most of our alliance partners level their competition playing field on money earned by their exhibitors. AQHA exhibitors are leveled by points earned and by winning an AQHA world or reserve world champion title. By combining both methods, we look to further level the playing field and protect the integrity of the Adequan® Level 2 Championships at the Lucas Oil World,” said AQHA Chief Show Officer Pete Kyle.

– AQHA Judges Committee-
The Executive Committee approved an amendment to rule SHW911.6 to read as follows: At all shows where there is an official videographer, judges will be allowed to review “all major and/or severe penalties of two points or more, excluding marker penalties in the reining and the reined work portion of working cow horse as long as one (1) judge has called a penalty.” The Executive Committee also approved the creation of a judges task force to create guidelines for self-monitoring among judges.
