“We are excited to have the opportunity to welcome all Select exhibitors to compete at this year’s show since the AQHA Executive Committee waived the qualifying requirements due to the coronavirus pandemic,” said Justin Billings, AQHA chief show officer. “For the first time, this year’s show will feature Level 3 and Nutrena Level 1 classes for riders and their American Quarter Horses to compete in. Also new this year, exhibitors will have the ability to enter an optional jackpot in each class with 100% payback.”  

“We are so pleased to once again have these shows recognized as some of the best in the country by the AQHA. It truly takes a village to accomplish such a designation, and we have to thank our exhibitors, staff and supporters for all of their hard work and dedication. We are looking forward to an even greater event in 2020 and can’t wait to see everyone back in the show ring,” commented Kathy Avolt of An Equine Production.

The Exhibitor Sponsorship Program is designed to enhance the experience for exhibitors attending the APHA World Show. Sponsorships range from $500 to $5,000, and in addition to receiving valuable perks with the package you select, most of the money raised will be used to enhance payouts at the World Show, which puts more money into the pockets of exhibitors.
