Like always, the show management team at the Reichert has some exciting things up their sleeves for the 2014 event that will be held August 14-September 1st in Fort Worth, Texas. With new dates, a new schedule, and new shows, there is literally something for every exhibitor.

Recently, JR Reichert made the big announcement that the High Point trainer of the money division at the All Breed World Championship will be awarded with a brand new smart car… to keep! Talk about blowing all other horse show awards out of the water. Ribbons, trophies, neck wreaths, saddles, and even horse trailers are impressive prizes, but what other horse show has ever awarded a car?!
In order to qualify to win this MY2014 Smart Car, the competitor must be self-employed as a trainer or assistant trainer and his or her lifetime earnings cannot exceed $50,000. In addition, an entire stable’s points will count toward the High Point award, including client’s points and even assistant trainer’s points, so bring your whole barn and encourage them to participate in the All Breed World Championships!
