Mark your calendars for the Texas Amateur State Championship Show for 2017! The new dates for the show will be April 26-30 in Waco, TX. The show will once again take place in conjunction with the Big Country QHA.

The Midwest Horse Fair Ranch Horse Competition makes it’s debut with more than $2,800 in prizes. It will showcase the control and maneuverability of the ranch horse and offer three classes.

Horses to be shown in the Youth World Show must be transferred or leased by the pre-entry deadline of the Youth World Show. However, any horse shown at the Youth World Show will not be eligible to show at the Open/Amateur World Show (in the same year) by the immediate previous owner/lessor or relative of the previous owner/lessor as described in AM.020.A and YP.015A.

To compete at one of three AQHA Level 1 Championships in 2018, exhibitors have four ways to earn an invitation. The qualifying period kicks off January 1, 2017, and continues through December 31.

“AQHA levels are designed to group horses and riders with their peers of similar experience and points earned,” said Pete Kyle, AQHA chief show officer. “From the bottom up, leveling is designed to improve exhibitor experiences at AQHA shows and further American Quarter Horses as competitors.”

At the six 2017 Challenges, which also offer working ranch horse, boxing and ranch riding classes, more than $90,000 in added money will be up for grabs. That’s at least $15,000 in added money for each event.
