The 2015 NSBA World Championship Show is now underway in Tulsa, Oklahoma and the competition is HOT! The weather certainly matches, with near triple digit temperatures, but that hasn’t dissuaded the industry’s top AQHA, APHA, and ApHC horse trainers, owners, breeders, and exhibitors from amassing in the Sooner State for what has become one of the largest shows of the year.
Over the course of this week, NSBA’s all-breed classes will pay in excess of $500,000 in cash and prizes. In addition, NSBA Breeders Championship Futurity and Stakes classes will reward nominated horses with enticing payouts.
Classes on the schedule for today include Breeders Championship Futurity 2-Year-Old, 3-Year-Old and 4-6-Year-Old Hunter Under Saddle, BCF 2-Year-Old Western Pleasure, and Maturity Western Pleasure in the Ford Truck Arena. Meanwhile, over in the Mustang Arena, English and Western Longe Line, Novice Youth Western Pleasure, Western Riding, and Walk-Trot Western Pleasure classes will take place. Also, Trail classes are underway in the Super Duty Arena.
The judges pool for the show includes Dean Bogart, Brett Clark, David Denniston, David Fairchild, Jeff Greaves, Tanya Green, Robin Griggs, Larry Little, Steve Meadows, Art O’Brien, Rhonda Replogle, Mark Russell, Brent Tincher, Carly Veldman Parks, Mike Weaver, and Tracy Willis. Judges for WCHA Halter classes will be Chris Arentsen, Rebecca Halvorson, Eddie Hicks, Kathy Smallwood.
