Quarterhorse event to be held Dec 3-5

Saturday, November 20, 2010

CLOVERDALE---- The Crossroads Holiday Bash, an American Quarter Horse Association (AQHA) approved show, will be held Dec. 3-5 at the Crossorads arena in Cloverdale.

American quarter horse shows test horses' abilities in dozens of different classes and feature exciting events such as jumpining, reining, barrel racing, cutting, roping and pole bending. Additionally, halter classes that judge American quarter horses based on balance, muscling and breed characteristics are held.

People who exhibit at an American quarter horse show earn points that turn into awards or cash at the end of the year. By competing at an AQHA show, exhibotors and horses also can qualify for an AQHA World Championship Show.

"We welcome all American quarter horse owners as well as anyone who has a passion for horses," said Don Treadway, AQHA executive vice president. "AQHA shows are fun and anyone who has ever wanted to get involved with horses or compete at an AQHA show is encouraged to attend."

Each year, AQHA approves more than 3,000 shows and special events across the globe.
