MQHA Gateway Classic Parent Showmanship Challenge

Get ready for the Parent Showmanship Challenge at the MQHA Gateway Classic!

Here are the details:

• We will take nominations Thursday-Saturday during the show.
• An initial nomination is $20 per parent. Jars will be set up for each nominated parent. Parents can continue to be ‘nominated’ by placing any value of money in their respective jar.
• The 12 parents with the highest nomination (most money) will compete in the Showmanship challenge at the end of the show on Saturday evening. (The pattern will be published once nominations close on Saturday early afternoon.)
• The 12 parents will be in the arena with their horse, and we will Calcutta each parent. We will pay the purchaser of the winning parent AND the purchaser of the 4th place winning parent. MQHYA will keep 20% of the total Calcutta earnings. Then, the remaining 80% will be split between the purchaser of 1st and 4th place, 60% and 40% to each, respectively.
• The first-place parent will take home $50.
• Attire: Show clothes not required! All participants must wear closed-toed shoes or boots, jeans, a button-down shirt, and hat.
• This is a youth fundraiser and will take place on Saturday evening during the show exhibitor party. This is sure to be a lot of fun!
