The Ohio Paint Horse Club just wrapped up the OPHC Buckeye Bonanza at World Equestrian Center in Wilmington, Ohio. The July 25-26, 2026 Four Judge POR, with judges Keith Miller, Andrea Simons, Darren Wright, and Randy Wilson, offered a full slate of APHA classes, as well as all breed and money-added classes.
Just one example: The American Tobiano Horse Association sponsored the Tobiano Color Classes with $500 added money.
The OPHC Buckeye Bonanza- APHA & All Breed Show is also an APHA Top 20 Show (for 2025) and it boasted numbers this year such as 16 Entries in APHA Amateur Performance Mares and 28 Entries in Performance Geldings!
Congratulations to the High Point winners of the show:
