We will be offering our first performance class at our 2020 event: Yearling Longe Line. This class will have a purse of $25,000, which was generously donated by Headley Quarter Horses. All nominated yearlings will be eligible to participate in this class. If you have a 2019 weanling that was not nominated, please contact the BHF office.

Foals sired by all BHF Stallions – Amateur, Open and Color Division – are eligible for this class.
