Around the Rings – 2024 Oregon QHA February Sweetheart Classic
Leadline Champion, Carter!
The Oregon Quarter Horse Association Sweetheart Classic, February 8 -11, 2024, at Oregon Horse Center in Eugene, Oregon, offered a full slate of AQHA, APHA and ApHC classes, including cattle classes.
Judges were Bruce Army, Nancy Wilde, Leanne Williams, and Darren Wright, and the show was another hit for the multi-breed show format the association has been cultivating. In fact, the shows go out of their way to make everyone feel appreciated! As of last year, the shows also have been welcoming Appaloosas to their format, and the show was approved by the following:
American Quarter Horse Association
American Paint Horse Association
Oregon Quarter Horse Association
Northwest Coordinating Committee
Oregon Paint Horse Club
Oregon Appaloosa Horse Club
Plus of course, they offer all-breed classes, and big celebrations of beginner riders. Thank you to Keri Croft for all the photos and championship results, and to Marla Fadel for score sheets (keep scrolling for the link.)
