The National Appaloosa Show and World Championship Appaloosa Youth Show is scheduled for June 25th – July 6th in Fort Worth, Texas. 

The Markel Insurance Breeder Championship Futurity Yearling Sale is a limited consignment sale designed to bring the nation’s top yearlings to public sale. The sale is only open to yearlings enrolled in the NSBA Breeders Championship Futurity or NSBA Color Breeders Championship Futurity and is held in conjunction with the NSBA World Championship Show each year.

The show will take place October 16-19 at the South Point Arena and Equestrian Center in Las Vegas, NV. On October 16th, there will be a two-judge Youth/Amateur show sponsored by the Silver State Paint Horse Club. October 17-19, there will be a four-judge Open/Amateur/Youth National show sponsored by APHA. 

One part of the show that’s unique compared to other shows is that the mothers, who we all know work tirelessly day in and day out, whether they are at a show or not, get to be honored and gifted with a bottle of wine! However, there is a catch to getting the bottle of wine. In order to receive the gift, the mom’s (and possibly even a few dad’s) must enter the free “Mother’s Day All Breed Pleasure Class” in memory of the late Kathy Hunt. This is a walk/jog pleasure class, which doesn’t take much convincing to enter once they find out every rider gets a bottle of wine from one of the local award-winning wineries in Paso Robles.
