2026 Appaloosa Nationals and Youth World Show Just One Month Away!

Oklahoma City, Okla., March 30, 2026 – It’s only a few short weeks before the first ever National Appaloosa Show and Youth World Championship Show in beautiful Waco, Texas! As exhibitors make plans to venture down to the Heart of Texas (the acronym is HOT for a reason) July 2-10, the Appaloosa Horse Club is sharing a couple important facts.

First, everything will be under one roof and easily accessible. ApHC did make plans to add an additional outdoor practice arena for your convenience. That outdoor arena will be between the stall barn and the Extraco Center.

There were initial plans to offer stall mats, but exhibitors will be pleased to know that a majority of the stalls already have stall mats and the stalls at the Extraco Center are all on dirt to save the horse’s legs from added stress. (and to save our patrons money!)

Magnolia and Magnolia Table is ready to invite families to beautiful Waco and when exhibitors have a chance to step away from the show, they have invited everyone to come enjoy the Silos and some awesome shopping! Magnolia also cautions families to go ahead and make reservations now for a wholesome meal at Magnolia Table. Make reservations now by calling (254) 265-6859. Reservations will fill very fast.

The Appaloosa Horse Club looks forward to welcoming you to Waco next month!
