Arkansas Quarter Horse Association’s 2018 Circle G Classic was a cold one, but the competition was hot! The show had six judges and started in Tunica, Mississippi on Friday, April 6th and ran until Sunday, April 8th.

After learning the proper technique, people got the opportunity to measure, hands on, with two miniature horses in the hotel foyer! Jamee Bornstein brought two miniature horses into the hotel and allowed members to stand up the horses the right way and use the measuring stick. While it was a lot of fun, it was also quite the unique learning experience.

“The idea of getting their name called and being presented with that ribbon, in the arena, in front of everyone, is what they want. I feel some of that fanfare has been left out at a lot of shows.”

Due to popular demand, The Equine Chronicle Exhibitors’ Party, complete with the mechanical bull and DJ, is back! The party will take place tomorrow evening, complete with dinner that will be served in the main arena following the show. Please pick up your dinner tickets by 9 am on Friday morning.

Show For Dough is adding a $1,000 Senior Trail class to their roster this year, along with the $1,000 Non Pro Class. Both of these classes will be shown on the Off-AQHA Day UNDER THE LIGHTS in the Grand Prix arena during the Hunter Derby classes. It will be fun and exciting. This is the same time as the exhibitor party and it will have a lot of spectators in attendance.
