For the AQHA World Show Leading Owner- Dan Fox- and Reserve Leading Owner- Warren English, the 2020 show season culminated like most, at the AQHA World Championship Show, with huge honors. We chatted with Dan and his daughter, Katie, as well as Warren, to find out more about the horses that helped them earn these achievements. 

From inspiring stories about riders overcoming adversity and interviews with World Champions to news about the effect of COVID-19 on the horse show scene, the Top 10 stories in 2020 ran the gamut.

“I like practical things like sheets, halters, garment bags, ect, especially if they’re embroidered with the name of the show and class. Then, I think about the show I won them at every time I use them.”

The BHF Board of Directors also voted to change some horse eligibility rules. Beginning in 2021, only the 1st place horse from any BHF Class and only the World Champion from any AQHA Level 3 Amateur or Open Class are ineligible to compete in future BHF Halter Classes. If you have a horse that previously placed 2nd or 3rd and you would like to show again at the BHF, there is a “Catch-Up Nomination Form” for you to pay a $200 yearly nomination fee for every year the horse was ineligible. Then, you will pay a current 2021 nomination fee and your horse is eligible to show at the BHF.
