In 2019, to be eligible to compete in any Paint Horse Championship halter class in any division, an exhibitor cannot have placed in the Top Five in a halter class at an APHA World Championship Show within the last 10 years (2009–2018) or won a Paint Horse Championship halter class the previous year.

Other events include a church service at 9 a.m. on August 4, followed by The Paws Cause, a dog adoption event at 11 a.m. Both will be held in the Sales Pavilion (Barn 3). Ford Youth World attendees have the opportunity to visit with colleges and universities at the college fair 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on August 6 and 7 in Section 300 in the Jim Norick Arena.

Scarlet Print was a 1990 chestnut overo mare by Silent Print and out of Oakes Shady Lady who earned 1,334 lifetime APHA points in halter classes. Owned by Michelle Engle of Bakersfield, California, Scarlet Print had an impressive accolade of awards, including four Registers of Merit, three Superiors Events and 10 world championship titles—all in halter classes. She was a dam to nine horses that have collected a total of 746 points in halter classes.

The Fox Lea Farm Winter Quarter Horse Circuit and NSBA Fun In The Sun will take place January 6-12, 2020 in Venice, Florida. With six judges and six sets of points up for grabs, it’s sure to be a don’t-miss event. There will also be amazing parties and great awards making for a memorable show-cation.

There has been a clarification in the American Buckskin Registry Association World Show Rules concerning Leadline classes. The youth exhibitor nor handler are required to own the horse being exhibited.

NSBA’s World Show is right around the corner. Here are a few important things to note!

“This awards ceremony is a celebration of and a spotlight on all the hard work, time and dedication our members and American Quarter Horses put in throughout 2018 to earn these prestigious titles,” said Pete Kyle, AQHA chief show officer. “We are thrilled to have the opportunity to showcase these individuals and their American Quarter Horses in Oklahoma City during one of our most prestigious shows of the year.”

The popular First 2 Finish Trail Duel is returning to the 2019 NSBA World Show this year! This Handy Horse Trail course will award $3,500 to the winner with $1,000 being awarded to the highest placing non-pro.
