“New this year, Robert Dehn is offering a trail clinic the day before our show starts,” Zone 1 Show Committee Member Shannon O’Dell said. “We’re excited about this opportunity for our Zone 1 exhibitors.”

AQHA will also hold the first Zoetis AQHA Ranching Heritage Challenge Finals in conjunction with the 2016 Zoetis VRH and AQHA CMS world shows. Ranching Heritage Challenges highlight the versatility, soundness and willing attitude of American Quarter Horses that are bred by AQHA Ranching Heritage Breeders. To be eligible to compete in the challenges, horses must have been bred by a Ranching Heritage Breeder, plus all payments must be complete. In 2016, there is more than $90,000 in prize money offered during the six qualifying challenges and finals.

Congrats Clint Ainsworth, Gigi Bailey, Adam D’Agostino, Candace DesRochers, Robin Frid, Jennifer Hancock, Jimmie Hardin, Erin Henderson, Helga Hommel, Debra Jarvis, Christy Landwehr, Allen Mitchels, Alisa Proefrock, Amanda Ringer, Allan Schmidt Jr., Mark Sheridan, Marion Troyer, Bruce Walquist, and Kendra Weis.
