Exhibitors at the American Quarter Horse Association’s Adequan Select World Championship Show have shined their boots and dusted off their hats for the first day of competition in Amarillo. Classes began at noon at the Tri-State Fairgrounds, with the prelims in cutting.

“We are excited to see the hard work and dedication these members have put in for the Adequan Select World,” said AQHA Executive Vice President Craig Huffhines. “AQHA wishes everyone the best of luck and looks forward to a great week!”

The Adequan Select World has a variety of events and activities for competitors, friends, family and spectators to take part in throughout the show. You won’t want to miss the AQHA 75th Anniversary Celebration starting at 6 p.m. on September 1 at the American Quarter Horse Hall of Fame & Museum, or the chance to gain some valuable knowledge at the Nutrena Ride the Pattern clinics during the show.
