The Ohio Quarter Horse Foundation is excited to announce that we will be bringing the Congress Classroom to the SOQHA Challenge and Madness shows again in 2018! We recognize that it is not easy to stay on top of your academics or work while competing, so we will be providing wireless internet and a printer to help you do all your work while at the show.

The 2018 Keystone Classic is coming to Glouchester County Dream Park in Logan Township, NJ. May 25-27. Judges will be Roger Johnson, Steve Bennett, Michael Ochetto, and Dave Parlier.

All Amateur exhibitors at the 2018 APHA World Championship Show have the chance to win—a random drawing for the trailer will take place during the World Show, and each Amateur class entry at the event counts as a trailer entry. So the more Amateur classes you enter at the World Show, the more opportunities you have to win. The winner receives a three-horse slant Platinum trailer with a tack room, and it’s the winner’s to keep.

Save the date for the 2018 Pinto World Championship Show and the 2018 Color Breed Congress, which are both fast approaching!

Judges will be Don McDuffee, David Terrell, Trisha Shorten-Armstrong, and Deb Jarvis. The event will be APHA and PtHA approved.

The Exhibitor’s Advisory Committee has also been working hard to bring a fun event to the show – the inaugural Pro/Am Versatility Challenge will be held on Sunday, July 1 in the Will Rogers Coliseum.

Here’s another #ShowTip from the Illinois Quarter Horse Youth Association, this time from youth riders, Lydia Brahler and Casey Philpot, who give a few tips for how they stay organized at the horse show. We LOVE the idea about using pre-printed stickers for entry forms with your horse’s info like registration name, number, owner, ect. Click here to […]

New Youth World Show Eligibility Requirements-

All horses must be owned/leased by the exhibitor or an eligible family member per Rule YP-015 as recorded by APHA postmarked by the pre-entry deadline, May 15. Youth or eligible family members who own/lease their horses after the May 15 postmark deadline (as recorded by APHA) are eligible to compete for Youth World Show titles and awards upon payment of a $500 fee (applied to the APHF Youth World Show Scholarship Fund), but they will not be eligible to earn scholarship money.

“I was in my mid 40s before I got to experience the exhilaration of a horse show. My daughters had taken up the sport. I bought us each a horse, and I participated in the ‘mom and pop’ and over 19 classes at their 4-H shows. I was hooked!”
