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!”

Special thanks to the Illinois Quarter Horse Youth Association for sharing this #ShowTip with our EquineChronicle.com readers. See Robyn Garcia‘s advice for using KT tape in Showmanship below!

When you enter a D/A class, for example, like the Amateur Western Pleasure, you will pay $50 per class (not per ride/go). Then, after the second go, the composite placings will be tallied and 75% of the entry fees will be jackpotted back and paid on a 40%, 30%, 20% and 10% scale.
