Congratulations to Paige Stopperich, she has been chosen to represent the USA at t
he American Quarter Horse Youth World Cup which is an International Equestrian event held every two years. With over 17 countries taking part, the Youth World Cup offers opportunities for our youth to experience different cultures, meet peers from all over the world and experience an International Equestrian event. Team USA has announced the members of their 2012 Youth World Cup team, and, once again, Nancy Cahill, AQHA Professional Horsewoman, will coach the team. The event will take place on July 21-29, 2012, in Kreuth, Germany.


Paige Stopperich was introduced to Quarter Horses when her parents purchased her first horse at the age of 8, and has had great success, earning multiple youth high-point awards and an AQHA Championship award by competing in showmanship, trail, hunter under saddle, horsemanship and hunt seat equitation. Her favorite event is trail; she enjoys the challenge of new patterns. Paige is thrilled to be chosen to represent the U.S., and believes it will be an experience of a lifetime!

**VERY IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT FROM AQHA**

"Because of the unique circumstances, and considering youth exhibitors have not been able to verify points for shows conducted after December 31, AQHA’s Show Council recommended, and the Executive Committee approved, extending the qualifying deadline for the 2013 Built Ford Tough AQHYA World Championship Show through Memorial Day, Monday, May 27, 2013. This extension should give youth exhibitors ample time to ensure that they are qualified."

2013 PQHA Scholarship Information and Guidelines


PQHA understands that our exhibitors are choosing which shows to attend based on many factors - including location, facilities, points, organization & friendliness, and cost. Our goal is to provide a well-organized, friendly, fun environment at a world class facility while charging fees that remain affordable.
We have compared our show cost to those of over 40 other shows in the surrounding areas and beyond. The charges used in this comparison were taken from 2012 show bills. We believe that the PQHA fees compare favorably to most of the shows in our study, especially when comparing the “All Inclusive per Judge” costs.
To view the entire 2012 cost analysis – click here
(pages 1 &2 show detailed charges, pages 3 & 4 show comparisons for 1 class entered, 2 classes, 3 classes, blanket fees, and all inclusive).
2013 shows will be added as they become available.
