Clark Parker’s Celebration of Life at Avila Ranch in Scottsdale

The loss of AQHA Judge and Show Steward Clark Parker of Paradise, Utah, was devastating for the horse community.

Everyone will miss his smile, his kindness, and his expertise at the shows. We know he left our world a better place, but his loss has left a big hole in the hearts of everyone in the industry.

In 2012, Clark was awarded AQHA’s Lifetime Achievement Award, and in 2013, he was honored as the AQHA Professional Horseman of the Year.  The AQHA judge and show steward was also recognized at the 2022 AQHA World Championship Show for his dedication to the breed and industry.  See the Gold Globe video from AQHA here:
