The Dolan Family ~ From POA to AQHA
July 5, 2021 Comments Off on The Dolan Family ~ From POA to AQHA
Madison Dolan is used to making a splash in the show pen. At just three years old, she’d already fallen in love with riding and by the following year she was showing her POA in Leadline at the 2010 Fort Worth Stock Show. When she made her debut in AQHA in 2017, there was no testing the water at a couple of state shows to get her feet wet. She went right to the Quarter Horse Congress. At the time, Madison and her horse had just 13 years between them; she was 11 and her gelding, One of the Cool Kids, aka “Luke” was only two. It was his first show ever.

July 3, 2021 Comments Off on From the Publisher – The Need for a Solid Foundation
I started showing horses at local, open shows. My greatest memories from those days weren’t the wins or the trophies, or even winning money from a class with a jackpot. My greatest memories came after the show when we all cooked out, played football, and raced our horses around the grounds. I made good friends and learned a lot about life. I met my wife because of horses. I am certain horse shows did the same for others.

“It’s such an honor to host American Quarter Horse Association events in Oklahoma,” Gov. Stitt said. “We’re so proud of our agricultural history and our way of life in Oklahoma. Both of my grandparents were involved in agriculture: My dad’s dad was the head vet at the Oklahoma City Stockyards, my other granddad was a rodeo cowboy and also a dairy farmer, so I grew up with this lifestyle. It’s an honor that people from across the country come here to Oklahoma to show their horses and compete. We want to also welcome everyone in November to the Farnam AQHA World Show, too.”
