AQHA Publicity
That’s a wrap on the 2019 AQHA Central and Nutrena East Level 1 Championship shows. AQHA Level 1 exhibitors from 30 states competed for 186 world championship titles between the two shows. The AQHA Central Level 1 Championships was April 9-13 at State Fair Park in Oklahoma City and the Nutrena East Level 1 Championships was April 30 – May 4 at the World Equestrian Center in Wilmington, Ohio.
Between the Central Level 1 and Nutrena East Level 1, more than 1,000 horses and 1,000 exhibitors competed in western, English and halter events, with more than 3,900 total entries in these events. The entries encompassed exhibitors from 30 states. View the official results and score sheets at www.aqha.com/level1championships.
AQHA Professional Horsemen volunteered their time to give free Ride the Pattern clinics, presented by Nutrena. These clinics gave exhibitors and spectators the perfect opportunity to learn how AQHA Professional Horsemen would approach a specific class or pattern in Level 1 competition. Thanks to the generosity of the Ride the Pattern clinics attendees, the Professional Horsemen Crisis Fund raised more than $3,000 in donations.
Cargill representatives led presentations at the Educational Seminars at the AQHA Central and Nutrena East Level 1 Championships. Attendees learned to enhance their equine nutrition program and their American Quarter Horse at these seminars.
The AQHA West Level 1 Championships is rescheduled for September 23-29 at the South Point Arena & Equestrian Center in Las Vegas. Entries for the rescheduled show are due August 30. The entry form, a full tentative schedule for the rescheduled show and more information will be posted soon at www.aqha.com/level1championships.
