The 2015 World Wide Paint Horse Congress kicked off yesterday to a big crowd in Tulsa, OK. The first four-judge Paint-O-Rama of the Paint Congress began with Halter, Showmanship, and Western Riding classes to the first set of judges: Clint Fullerton, Garth Gooding, Sonnesa Gooding, and Tom Robertson.

Check out some of the class sizes from Day 1.

  • Amateur Senior Mares- 17
  • Novice Amateur Showmanship- 20
  • Youth All Age Geldings- 21
  • 14-18 Showmanship- 21
  • Amateur Showmanship 19-44- 26
  • Amateur Senior Geldings- 31

The show continues today with Longe Line, Hunter Under Saddle, Equitation, Western Pleasure, Horsemanship, Ranch Horse Pleasure, and Reining. With the show’s unique “Show to 8, Pay For 4” option, competitors who show under the first set of judges can show under the second set with NO ENTRY FEES, as long as they compete in same number of (or more) classes. (Office charges and NSBA fees will apply for all eight judges.) The second POR will be judged by Mark Baus, Larry Hansch, Chris Jeter, and Rhonda Replogle.

That’s great for those competitors trying to finish up APHA World Show qualifying because the Paint Horse Congress and GCPHC show will count as separate shows. That’s four qualifying events at one location!

Other exciting additions to the schedule include NSBA dual approved classes, Get of Sire and Produce of Dam Halter classes, Lynn Simons Memorial Halter Futurity/WCHA-approved classes, and the highly anticipated Beth Buechler Limited Series. The Beth Buechler Limited Series will take place on Saturday following the conclusion of Showmanship classes and will include seven limited horse/limited rider classes.

  • Any Age Horse Limited Open Rider/Limited Horse – Trail
  • Any Age Horse Limited Non Pro Rider/Limited Horse Trail
  • 4 Year Old & Under Open Limited Rider/Limited Horse Hunter Under Saddle
  • 4 Year Old & Under Limited Non Pro Rider/Limited Horse Hunter Under Saddle
  • NEW in 2015: 4 Yr Old & Older Green Horse/Limited Non Pro Rider – Western Pleasure
  • 3 Year Old & Under Open Limited Rider/Limited Horse Western Pleasure
  • 3 Year Old & Under Limited Non Pro Rider/Limited Horse Western Pleasure

Some of the incredible prizes to be awarded during the series include Phil Harris work saddles, a Pessoa English Saddle, an Elite Western Saddle, trophies, neck ribbons, and amazing gifts from class sponsors like a Showmark Deluxe Bridle, Show & Tell Saddle Blankets, Cowboy Couture saddle racks, buckle boxes, hat gift certificates, a 1/2 price breeding to APHA stallion John Simon, and much more.
