Working with a series of professionals, experts, and specialists, participants will develop their knowledge in the fields of business, leadership, and communication. Through participation in this two-year program individuals will improve their business acumen, network, and lay the groundwork for long-term financial stability for themselves, their families, and their businesses. 

Due to an increase in exhibitor interest, the horse show has added an extra day of competition, with the 2019 installment beginning Friday, December 27 and concluding Tuesday, Dec. 31, and the prize money pot has increased to $50,000 shared between both the Gold Coast and Gulf Coast Quarter Horse Circuits.

This year, at the 2019 All American Quarter Horse Congress, we will again present the most influential stallions of today’s industry through a showcase of life-size images on the entry wall of the Celeste Center, as well as a video tribute to the many great stallions who stood on Stallion Avenue. We invite all Congress guests to visit Million Dollar Stallion Row.

AQHA’s goal in launching the new language line is to provide faster, easier and more efficient care to non-English-speaking customers through the addition of interpreters capable of providing live support in 240 languages.

AQHLead grants of $5,000 will be awarded to 10 applicants for the Class of 2021 to offset the cost of participation. Grant recipients will participate in the program for the term from the 2020 AQHA Convention in March 2020 in Las Vegas to the 2021 AQHA Convention.

Kick off 2020 with the C Bar C Winner Circuit, January 23-26, 2020 in Cloverdale, Indiana. The four-day show will host six judges: Michael Edwards, David Denniston, John Boxell, Tracy Willis, Robin Frid, and Brad Kearns.

More than 1,300 entries competed for 93 championship titles in western, English and halter events at the AQHA West Level 1. The entries encompassed 328 exhibitors and 343 horse from 14 states and Canada.

Sun Circuit is the largest AQHA circuit in the West, yet there is a class for every exhibitor at every level. Enjoy the great atmosphere and fantastic March weather while you show at the World Class equestrian facilities of WestWorld of Scottsdale, Arizona. There are three indoor, climate controlled arenas along with multiple outdoor and covered arenas with plenty of extra space for  warm-ups.

As part of the fun, we will host a cook-off in four separate categories (breakfast, hot main dish/appetizer, cold main dish/appetizer, and desserts). To celebrate the national scope of the Congress, recipe entries are to represent the taste and flair of your geographic region. The six geographic regions are: Pacific U.S., Frontier/Central U.S., Midwest U.S., Southern U.S., Northeast U.S., and Canada!
