AZ Fall Championship
The Arizona Fall Championship is set to take place September 25th-October 4th in Scottsdale, AZ. Now, there will be a newly modified, youth class schedule with four youth divisions: Small Fry 9 and Under, 11 and Under, 12-14, and 15-18 youth divisions.
Small Fry will show once, and 11 and Under will show twice during the Fall Championship and once during the Pinnacle Circuit. 11 and Under is now AQHA approved. Buckles will be awarded to champions in both Small Fry and 11 & Under, along with ribbons for first through ninth. The High Point Small Fry Walk/Trot 9 & Under and the High Point 11 & Under Champions will each receive an AZ. Fall Championship trophy.
The 12-14 and the 15-18 youth divisions will run throughout the horse show with their classes being held on the same days as the amateur and select divisions for those classes. For example: The Youth, Amateur, and Select Horsemanship classes will all run on the days listing Horsemanship. L1 Youth, L1 Amateur, and L1 Select classes for Western Pleasure and Horsemanship will follow the Equitation classes.
Important Schedule and Format Changes
With the cancellation of the Congress, record numbers of exhibitors have changed their show schedule and are heading to Arizona this September. In response, the Cinch AZ Fall Championship and Pinnacle Circuit promise to be a 10-day horse show spectacular. Show management has worked creatively to adjust the schedule to meet the needs of exhibitors and offer a full slate of futurities with generous added money.
The format has changed to showing two times to three judges during the Fall Championship and showing once to four judges for the Pinnacle Circuit. Cow horses will show two times to two judges during the Pinnacle Circuit. There are circuit awards for each, along with Overall High Point and Best of Show awards. The majority of classes will be held indoors with four climate controlled arenas. New to the schedule are Working Hunter classes.

Show in Safety and Comfort
Show management is working closely with the City of Scottsdale and WestWorld to ensure all COVID-19 safety protocols are maintained. Outdoor facilities and stall areas at WestWorld are well spaced to naturally promote social distancing. The four, voluminous, climate control arenas are ideal for minimizing risk. Exhibitors can use HorseShow Tracker for entries and results, eliminating the need to spend time in the show office.
Masks
At present (August 14th) The City of Scottsdale requires the wearing of a mask in all indoor public spaces. Show management will be upholding all local ordinances that are in effect at the time of the show.
