Following review and approval from the AQHA Executive Committee, the points required to qualify for the 2018 AQHA Select World Championship Show, presented by Adequan® (polysulfated glycosaminoglycan), have been announced.

For $25, you can “own” one of 60 horses that will be racing the night of the Gala. Your horse and Jockey’s name will appear in the evening’s program as well as on signage. There will be six prerecorded races throughout the evening where the guests can “Bet to Win.” It’s a way to give back to the Foundation and have a little fun!

Taking place concurrently with the APHA World Show, the World Conformation Horse Association’s Big Money Futurity brought big crowds and new faces to Fort Worth, Texas.

“Our entries in some classes have tripled; many of them have doubled. All of our exhibitors are excited to be in Fort Worth. APHA is seeing some increased entries as well in the halter, so it’s a win-win. The futurity has had, in the past, some pains with moving around, so we think this is going to be really great for both organizations.”

Performance halter classes are offered only in the Open division, and the line up featured both Solid Paint-Bred and Regular Registry classes for mares, stallions and geldings.

No stranger to the Farnam Stakes program, Ryley was third as a 2-year-old and fourth as a 3-year-old. Yet the championship eluded the 2013 bay overo mare until this year. Pamela saddled up for her final shot at the Farnam cash—a total purse worth $8,270 in this year’s Non-Pro class.
