2015 American Royal Update: Royal Feast is Tonight!

The American Royal Horse Show kicked off yesterday in Kansas City, Missouri to a fantastic crowd of AQHA competitors. The show will continue through the 13th and is being judged by Jonathan Meilleur, Michael Colvin, Clint Fullerton, Suzy Jeane, Clark Scoggin, and Merle Arbo.

Yesterday, competitors and spectators enjoyed a fabulous Exhibitors’ Dinner from Joe’s BBQ that was generously sponsored by Mid Rivers Equine. Tonight, get ready for The Royal Feast where each barn will provide their own signature dish and be judged for the chance to win the title of “Most Spectacular Host” and a crystal trophy.
