Preparations are underway for the Dixie National Equestrians with Disabilities Show scheduled for February 4, 5, and 6, 2020 at the Kirk Fordice (Mac Haik Ford) Equine Center, on the State Fairgrounds in Jackson, MS. This year, our 22nd year, will truly be bigger and better than ever before. The show boasts FREE entry fees and no stall fees for exhibitors. All fees are paid by the Mississippi Quarter Horse Youth Association. We are fortunate to have all four judges, Clay Cavinder, L.G. Heier, Shawn Hays, and Chele McGauly, donating their services for the event. Others donating their services are show coordinator, announcers, show secretary and the MANY volunteers it takes to put on a horse show event.
We will offer four sets of AQHA points, four sets of NSBA points, and four sets of PHBA points. Don’t forget, the composite winner in each class is awarded a coveted Dixie National Jacket. This will be the best deal yet for equestrians from all over the country to come and join with us in a competitive but yet friendly environment.
We will again be offering NRHA Para Reining during the Dixie National Quarter Horse Show on Thursday February 13, 2020 thanks to a sponsorship by Brushy Creek Ranch.
Bailey Carwile, President of the Mississippi Quarter Horse Youth Association says, “The Mississippi Quarter Horse Youth Associations’ annual Equestrians with Disabilities Show, part of the Dixie National Quarter Horse Show, has long been one of my favorite projects through MQHYA. Disabled Equestrians from all over the U. S. come together at the Kirk Fordice Equine Center in Jackson, MS every February for the biggest EWD show in the nation. This event is put on at no cost to the exhibitors thanks to donations from our many generous sponsors. We are very thankful for all of our volunteers, including our judges, who return each year to donate their time to make this event a positive experience for our exhibitors. We can always use additional volunteers, and I guarantee that if you volunteer you will be blessed. Please join us in Jackson on February 4th-5th 2020 for this fun filled event. See y’all there!”
