2016 AZ. Sun Circuit + AZ. Nationals = 11 AQHA Shows in Two Weeks

Arizona Sun Circuit

The 2016 Arizona Sun Circuit is hot on the heels of the Arizona Nationals in Scottsdale, AZ, which is where you will find 11 AQHA shows in two weeks. If you’re serious about showing, this is the place to be.

The 2016 Sun Circuit will be January 8-17, two weeks earlier than usual. It directly follows the Arizona Nationals Quarter Horse Show January 4-7. In total, the back-to-back events offer exhibitors 11 AQHA shows in a two-week time period. That certainly gets the New Show Year off with a bang. One could quite possible qualify for the World Show before the first month is over!

Exhibitors who plan to show at both Arizona Nationals and Sun Circuit will be allowed to keep their same stalls for both circuits. That convenience will not affect Sun Circuit only exhibitors; sponsor’s permanent stall assignments will remain. All stall requests for permanent or temporary stalls will be due on December 1, 2015.

Also, thank you to our presenting sponsor, The Equine Chronicle!
