The 2018 All American Quarter Horse Congress kicks off October 2nd and will continue through the 28th in Columbus, Ohio.

Every entry into any Amateur class at the 2018 World Show placed competitors into the drawing. Denise Vick of Taylorsville, North Carolina, was stunned when her name was announced as the winner—excitement uncontained, she ran down to the arena with shrieks of joy!

The 52nd annual Congress Super Sale will take place Saturday, October 20th at 9:30 am at the Ohio Exposition Center at the All American Quarter Horse Congress in Columbus, Ohio. 

I have been showing horses for 16 years, and I currently show a bay mare by the name of Zips Bossy Chip. She has helped me amass some large accomplishments in the industry. Most recently she broke the record for AQHA’s highest point earning youth horse earning over 4,200 youth points. She and I have also accomplished 17 Congress Championships, NSBA World Championships, 2 NSBA Reserve World Championships, 2 AQHA Reserve World Championships, and over 20 National Titles. I was also fortunate enough, in 2016, to represent the United States at the American Quarter Horse Youth World Cup where I became a six-time gold medalist with my teammates from Team USA in Tamworth, Australia.

To sweep world championship titles across three divisions—Open, Amateur and Youth—spread out between two shows that are three months apart is no easy feat, but Red Hot N Stylish has made it seem effortless. The 2014 bay overo mare by Hes Stylin and out of Redhot Clusified LL was honored at the 2018 APHA World Championship on September 27 with the Scarlet Print Award—presented to horses that have achieved this significant feat—for the third time in her career.

Further, ALL horses that record an official start under an offending trainer anytime in the calendar year AFTER the expiration of thirty (30) days of an Offending Trainer’s Positive Test being published on the AQHA website shall be ineligible to be considered for AQHA awards associated with the calendar year in which the positive test occurred and shall be ineligible to be included in AQHA media during the calendar year in which the positive test occurred; this also includes pending appeals of violations.  

The 2018 World Championship Appaloosa Show will take place October 26th – November 3rd, 2018. A few important deadlines are coming up. 

An expanded slate of ranch events—the addition of Novice Amateur and Solid Paint-Bred divisions, as well as ranch pleasure, ranch cow work and ranch reining classes—brought more ready-to-work riders to the premier Paint competition; ranch classes saw more than 270 entries across the Open, Amateur, Novice Amateur, Solid Paint-Bred and Amateur Solid Paint-Bred divisions.
