This time of year, clubs pull out all the stops to help get their exhibitors into the Christmas spirit, and that was very evident at the recent Florida Paint Horse Club’s six-judge Holiday Classic that took place December 13-15 in Tampa. The four-judge show was officiated by Kelly Boles Chapman, Rob MeNeeley, Julie Thompson, and Daren Wright. The two-judge show was officiated by Lori Gordon and Sandy Jirkovsky. 

A holiday tradition year after year, the ShoMe Holiday ShoDown in Lansing, Michigan pulled out all the stops this year with an Exhibitor Pizza Party, Ugly Sweater Contest, cookie decorating, and more at their annual event.

The L1 Amateur Champion was Monica Parker Yeoman with Lil Lucky Decision. The Rookie Amateur was Dana Latimer with Fit N Frosty. The Amateur Champion was Danielle Mego with Dark Knight Seeker. The Rookie Youth winner was 
Charlotte Brooks with To You Lazy.

Thanksgiving has long passed, but it’s never too late for turkey! AQHA competitors gathered November 29th- December 1st for a four-judge event with all-around awards to be presented in eleven divisions, circuit awards, and NSBA money.

APHA competitors gathered October 12-13 in Cedar Rapids, Iowa for the last hurrah of the Iowa Paint Horse Club in 2019. The club’s final show for the year was the IPHC State Show and Futurity, and judges for the event were Rebecca Halvorson, Mark Sheridan, Gary Reynolds, and Rhonda Replogle.
