The MAQHA Corporate Challenge ended with a bang yesterday in St. Paul, MN. with more than 8,000 total entries across all divisions. According to the new management team, Mark Harrell Horse Shows, that’s an increase of nearly 1,500 AQHA entries.
Judges for the show were Daren Wright, Lori Gordon, Jeff Mellott, Sandy Jirkovsky, Gigi Bailey, and Suzy Jeane. With a brand new schedule this year that included new classes like Ranch Riding and Reining and Level 1 Adult and Youth Walk Trot, competitors came from across the country to enjoy six full AQHA shows.
A fun addition to the schedule was the Bridleless Trail with $1,000 added, which was won by Blake Weis with Snap Krackle Pop for owner Twylla Brown. The Reserve Champion was Kacy Philpot with Lil Boss Man; this team also received the award for the High Point Trail Horse.
