Double S Country Horse Fair Hosts Equine Expo on August 22, 2010

 This year we are looking forward to promoting the 4th Annual Double S Country Horse Fair & Expo. The event will be held at Double S Quarter Horses in Bow, Washington on Sunday, August 22nd. The event supports the American Quarter Horse Foundation funding programs such as equine research, scholarships, Hall of Fame, Professional Horsemen Crisis Fundraiser and therapeutic riding programs. In 2009 the event raised nearly $10,000.

The date for 2010 Event is August 22

The day includes vendors, clinics, demonstrations and both a silent and live auction. Last year brought in over 75 participants who enjoyed the shopping, BBQ lunch and great auction items to take home. The goal of the event is not only to raise money for this cause but to educate our community about horse care, training and in general to enjoy your horse.

Please contact us for sponsorship and vendor opportunities.

 $5.00 donation for admission.

AQHA ALERT!

New Rules for Novice Competitors

Starting July 1, novice exhibitors may show any horse in novice, except for the top-10 shows.

You might or might not know, but seven years ago the Show Council was formed for the purpose of expediting show related matters on behalf of the Show Committee. The Council consists of 14 members and includes an AQHA Executive Committee member (Peter Cofrancesco); the chair of the Show Committee, Dr. Jim Heird; four members of the Show Committee, John Pipkin, John Trafton, Peg Edmondson, and Jan Bruner; two Youth Committee Members, Michael Jung, and Nancy Cahill; two Professional Horsemen Committee members Stephanie Lynn and Patti Carter-Pratt; two Amateur Committee members, Dona Johnson and Sherri Tearney; and two Judges Committee members, Joe Carter and Larry Little.

A recommendation was made by the Show Council and then approved by the Executive Committee to allow novice competitors to participate without permits in the novice division at AQHA approved shows. The reasoning behind the decision is to bring more exhibitors to the AQHA show ring.

Beginning July 1, 2010, an exhibitor may show a horse in a novice youth or novice amateur class, with the owner and their immediate family still retaining the ability to show the horse in any class other than the same class as the novice exhibitor. Exhibitors will be required to have a novice amateur or novice youth membership to participate. Memberships can be purchased at the show or prior to the show through AQHA.

All novice eligibility rules still apply.

If novice permits are allowed at one of the top-10 show circuits (listed below), the novice exhibitor can use novice permits to show a non-family owned horse. This ensures a more level playing field at these top circuits. Top-10 circuits are determined by the total number of entries the previous year.




2009 Top-10 Circuits
  • Oklahoma QHA Redbud Spectacular -- Oklahoma City, OK
  • Texas Classic -- Fort Worth, TX
  • South Florida QHA Gold Coast -- Tampa, FL
  • Arizona Sun Country Circuit -- Scottsdale, AZ
