The regular AQHA shows began Monday morning with nearly 190 goes of Trail and a 9 point Senior Trail class!

We’re looking for five horsemen or -women to advantage of Stormy and Barbara’s patience and experience and bring their Paint Horses as participants for this free clinic. After a one-hour general session, spectators will watch first-hand as the pair put their gentle, effective and practical horsemanship techniques to work. Participants will be accepted in the order in which APHA receives and approves their requests. Contact Laura Jesberg at (817) 222-6412 to apply.

This regional championships features four days packed with a variety of classes, starting with reining at 7:30 a.m. on June 15 in the Amarillo National Center at the Tri-State Fairgrounds. AQHA judges Sandy Jirkovsky, Laura Gilmer and Karen Graham will judge the event. For a full show itinerary, visit www.mane-events.com/Reg8.

“We are extremely excited about this year’s group of new APHA judges,” APHA Director of Judges David Dellin said. “I have no doubt they will continue the tradition of excellence that we are working to provide for our exhibitors. They are all extremely knowledgeable and have been through a very demanding test of those skills. I’m very proud to have them as part of the judges’ corps.”
