Exhibitors at the 2017 Adequan® Select World Championship Show have shined their boots and dusted off their hats for the first day of competition in Amarillo. Classes began at 9 a.m. at the Tri-State Fairgrounds with preliminaries in cutting.
“We are excited to see the hard work and dedication these Select amateurs have put in for the Adequan® Select World,” said Craig Huffhines, AQHA executive vice president. “AQHA wishes everyone the best of luck and looks forward to a great week!”
