The 2019 AQHA West Level 1 Championships is rescheduled for September 25-29 in Las Vegas at the South Point Arena & Equestrian Center.

“You can hear your teammates in the stands screaming and yelling, it just makes all the hard work and long hours just worth it for those couple moments,” Ridgely said with a laugh. “Everybody needs those little moments to make the work worth it.”

“The No. 1 priority of AQHA is to protect the welfare of the horse,” said Craig Huffhines, AQHA executive vice president. “With the recent reports that horses in attendance at the National Reined Cow Horse Association Stallion Stakes event have tested positive for EHV-1, it was necessary for the AQHA Executive Committee, Association staff, facility management and the state veterinarian of Nevada to evaluate whether we should move forward with holding this event. The South Point Arena and Equestrian Center has taken the appropriate biosecurity measures to clean and disinfect the facility. However, all parties involved with this decision believe it is the best option to postpone the show to protect the welfare of our exhibitors’ horses.”
