AQHA adds $600,000 Additional Purse to World Championship Show
The American Quarter Horse Association is proud to announce that the AQHA Executive Committee approved enhancing the 2023 AQHA World Championship Show with a minimum increase of $600,000 in payouts, prizes and exhibitor appreciation. In an effort to improve the show, which also includes the Adequan® Select World Championship Show and encourages growth focusing on AQHA members, the Association has implemented changes to the 2023 show.
The added money will reflect a 20% increase from previous years. Exhibitors at the 2022 AQHA World Championship Show participated in a town hall discussion, with one of the requests being to increase class payouts. The addition of $600,000 for payouts, prizes and exhibitor recognition is a step in the right direction to meet the requests of AQHA exhibitors competing at AQHA World Championship events.
The 2023 AQHA World Show is slated for October 26 – November 16 in Oklahoma City. The national qualifying period began August 1, 2022, and ends July 31, 2023.
