The High Sky Breeders Association, an American Quarter Horse Association-approved show, will be held Oct. 25-26, at the Nolan County Coliseum in Sweetwater.
American Quarter Horse shows test horses' abilities in dozens of different classes and features events such as jumping, reining, barrel racing, cutting, roping and pole bending. Additionally, halter classes that judge horses based on balance, muscling and breed characteristics are held.
People who exhibit at a show earn points that turn into awards or cash at the end of the year. By competing at an AQHA show, exhibitors and horses can qualify for the AQHA or American Quarter Horse Youth Association world championship shows, the premier events in the equine industry.
"We welcome all American Quarter Horse owners as well as anyone who has a passion for horses," said Bill Brewer, AQHA executive vice president. "AQHA shows are fun, and anybody who has ever wanted to get involved with horses or compete at an AQHA show is encouraged to attend."
Each year, AQHA approves more than 2,700 shows and special events across the world. For more information about the High Sky Breeders Association, contact Nancy J. Jones-Longoria at (432) 943-5291. |
