Weathering the Winter At the October ShowTime Youth Show on Friday the seventh we will have a small seminar on how to weather the coming winter months. Guest speaker Ted Turner will be talking about how to keep your halter and showmanship horses in top condition without spending hours outside in the cold. Turner will also be discussing ways to maintain that smooth, shiny show coat. We will also have a special guest speaker giving demonstrations on keeping those sparkly show shirts in tip top shape!

Youth World Show Where are the points? The American Quarter Horse Youth World Show point chase has begun. Are you ready for another show season? The ribbons, pain, tears, laughs and of course the points! There has been a change in point count for two World Show classes: Showmanship has moved up to 27 points from the original 25 and Western Riding has increases from eight to ten points. This applies for both under 14 and 14 to 18. Looking at the coming months show schedules we have estimated the most likely places to gather a sizable amount of points.

. The stock shows in Texas have a large turn out each year and is a great atmosphere for the youth and their horses. There is a very large point count at both the San Antonio and Houston stock shows. Local state fairs are a good place to gain some points. Also, any of your major circuits such as SunRise in Arizona and Congress in Ohio. Good Luck Qualifying for 2012 Youth World!!!
