While many AQHA competitors are enjoying some fun in the sun at the Florida Gulf Coast Circuit in Tampa, APHA exhibitors have converged on the west coast at WestWorld in Scottsdale, Arizona for the Copper Country Paint-O-Rama. Extending from December 29th- January 3rd, the Copper Country provides competitors with the opportunity to snag a few last-minute points to close out the year and start the new show season on the right foot.
With eight judges, Ultimate Horse awards, High Point and Reserve High Point awards in every class, NSBA classes, Ride Up For Free Novice classes, and SSA futurities, there is something for everyone. New this year, there is Open Performance Halter, a Ranch Pleasure and Ranch Trail Buckle circuit, Youth Ranch Series, and All Breed Ranch Series.
Always a big draw at Copper Country is the fun lineup of special events like the Paint the Paint Kids’ Activity, Exhibitors’ Dinner, Frisbee Toss, Ugly Sweater Contest, Stick Horse Contest, Boot Scramble, Doggie Derby, and much more!
