New to the HorseIQ Library are showmanship pattern videos from the 2017 APHA World Championship Show. Use these runs to enhance your understanding of the class judging priorities and scoring system, practice judging and scoring runs, and to understand the nuances that compile to create a winning performance. In addition to the entire slate of class performances from the 2017 Classic Amateur Showmanship preliminaries, find links to a blank scorecard, the pattern description and judges’ official scorecards.

The Tar Heel Triple Classic is excited to announce a new 4-day format with 6 AQHA judges, June 14-17, at the James B. Hunt Horse Complex in Raleigh, NC. It’s going to be a great weekend of food, fun, and fellowship!
