“Having served the performance horse industry for nearly half a century, the All American Quarter Horse Congress presents a tremendous opportunity to showcase the new look and products Tenda® has introduced over the past year, along with the products our customers have relied on for years,” says Tenda Vice President of Sales Eric Wyers. “The OQHA accomplishes an amazing feat each year presenting the largest single-breed horse show in the world. We’re proud to join these esteemed organizations, fellow business partners and talented competitors in supporting the efforts that make this amazing show come together.”

Calling all AjPHA and APHA members, regional clubs and supporters! Help support the 2020 AjPHA Youth World Games by donating themed baskets to be raffled off at the 2019 APHA World Championship Show.

A highlight of the event was a chance for youth to ride an American Quarter Horse. This year, the Foundation facilitated 200 rides, which gave many youth the opportunity to ride a Quarter Horse for the first time.

The biennial Youth World Games invites all countries to bring teams of four exhibitors and an alternate to compete in showmanship, Western horsemanship, hunt-seat equitation and ranch riding. Exhibitors will be assigned randomly selected mounts, and must show off their horsemanship abilities in the show pen after only a brief warm-up session.

Exhibitors will receive a free digital file of their performance. Official show videographer Equine Promotion will automatically email exhibitors a link to their run so they can download and share it on social media. This is free; no signup is necessary. There still are a variety of video options for purchase, too. Visit the booth in the Super Barn to learn more and update your email address.
