The Appaloosa Horse Club is Oklahoma Bound

Moscow, Idaho—The Appaloosa Horse Club, our exhibitors and their Appaloosas will soon begin preparations for the 64th National Appaloosa Show & 2011 World Championship Appaloosa Youth Show to be held in Tulsa, Oklahoma. We’re pleased to announce that we’ve finalized an agreement with the Tulsa County Public Facilities Authority and the Tulsa Convention and Visitors Bureau to host our 2011 and 2012 events at the Built Ford Tough Livestock Complex at the Tulsa Expo Square. The shows will be held July 4–July 16, 2011 and July 9–21, 2012.

            The National Appaloosa Show is the nation’s oldest single breed championship event which got its beginning in 1948 in Lewiston, Idaho. This pinnacle event for ApHC members will bring hundreds of exhibitors, enthusiasts and Appaloosa horses to Tulsa for family friendly competition and camaraderie throughout the 13-day event competing for coveted National and World Youth Championship titles. 

            “The Appaloosa Horse Club is looking forward to Appaloosa competition at the Built Ford Tough Livestock Complex in Tulsa, Okla. We are anxious to get started with planning the show,” says ApHC President, Chuck McWhirter, who has been involved in the site selection process and negotiations. “Tulsa is fairly centrally located and easy to get to and the relocation will allow us to showcase the best of our breed to a new audience. We’re thrilled to bring the show to Tulsa and know that the combined efforts of facility personnel, the CVB and our show management team will create a unique and exciting experience for our exhibitors and spectators.” 

            Mark Andrus, Tulsa Expo Square President / CEO says “Expo Square could not be more proud to have established a relationship with the National Appaloosa Horse Club. The new partnership is an excellent opportunity for our facility to be a driving factor in the economic impact to Tulsa County and the surrounding communities. The professionalism by the organization has been first class, and we are honored to be chosen for the National Championship Appaloosa Show in 2011 and 2012.”

            We’re honored the Appaloosa Horse Club chose Tulsa as the location for the 2011 and 2012 national shows,” reports Amy Huntley, vice president of the Tulsa Convention and Visitors Bureau. “Expo Square’s premiere facilities are the No. 1 equine venue in the nation and Appaloosa’s prestige among horse enthusiasts is the perfect marriage and is sure to make a very visible and an economically beneficial impact on the region. We are thrilled to host them and look forward to ensuring their stay in our city is first class.”   

            Watch the ApHC Web site in the coming weeks for more information regarding the 2011 show, including information about the City and the facility. In addition, the ApHC is working closely with Tulsa CVB personnel to locate and secure hotel rooms at the best rates for those attending the show. This information will also be available at www.appaloosa.com soon!

            The Appaloosa Horse Club (ApHC) was established in 1938 with a mission of preserving, promoting and enhancing the Appaloosa breed. The ApHC has since registered more than 690,000 Appaloosas, which are known for their distinctive color, intelligence and even temperament. True to their reputation as an extremely versatile breed, Appaloosas can be found in nearly every discipline including racing, endurance riding and serving as reliable family horses. The international breed registry is headquartered in Moscow, Idaho, the heart of the Palouse region—the Appaloosa breed’s namesake and point of origin.

Since there is a delay of about six weeks from the deadline for news until it reaches your hands, we realize some “late-breaking” information may not reach you in a timely manner.  However, any type of information that you may need will be immediately available on our website at www.arkansasaphc.com It is your responsibility to visit that website for up-dates, entry forms, directions to arenas, and other information.

 Important Information Regarding the One-Judge Horse Shows @ Benton:

Since we are having one-judge shows at Benton, we felt it was necessary to reduce the total number of classes that we offered.  No divisions were cut or dropped, but several were combined to lower the number from 131 classes to 87 classes.

-

 The youth classes (except for walk/trot division) will be combined into 18 and under at the one-judge shows.  HOWEVER, this will NOT affect year-end award divisions.  Year-end awards will still be divided into the 13 and under and 14-18 age groups.  The novice and masters classes will not be held at the Benton shows, but there will be numerous classes offered for the non-pro and open divisions.  Masters and novice non-pro classes will be offered at the Texarkana shows. Be sure and visit our website for more information about the new novice non-pro classes that will be offered!!  Novice non-pro eligibility will be determined by the number of points you have in each non-pro class. \

-

 It is each member’s responsibility to check their novice non-pro standing on the national club’s website.

 There will be a $5 per vehicle gate fee at Benton shows.  This will be collected at the gate from every vehicle passing through the gate.  All other fees have been reduced for the Benton shows.  The office fee per horse has been lowered to $5 per horse at the one judge shows, so if you bring one horse you will pay $5 at the gate and $5 office fee, but if you bring 3 or 4 horses, you will pay a $5 gate fee and then $5 per horse office fee, so you may save some money!!

 

The youth entry fees for the one judge shows are $6 and the ApHC Open and Non-pro classes are $11 per class.

 

We are offering 8 open-to-any breed classes at the Benton shows.  The entry fee for these classes will be $5 each.  The classes offered will be open hunter under saddle, open walk/trot, open western pleasure, open trail, open pole bending, open figure 8 stake race, open barrels, and open keyhole.  In the open trail and open games classes you may ride more than one horse if you choose and pay the $5 entry per horse.  We expect great participation for these events, and yes AApHC members are encouraged to ride in these open classes for the $5 entry fee.

-

The Big Step Arena at Benton is a great covered facility with a very nice arena, more than ample parking and has a great gathering place to watch the show.  Bring your lawn chairs for extra seating.

 Year-End Award Information

-

In order to qualify for year-end awards you must be a member of the Ark. ApHC and you must ride in 50% of the shows.  Remember, 1 judge = 1 show, so the Benton shows will count as 1 show each date, and the Texarkana shows are 2 judge shows which = 2 shows on each date.  For example, to make your 50% show requirement, you could ride both dates at Texarkana which would count as 4 shows, or show at all 4 Benton shows which again would equal your 4 shows.  Our hope is that we have everyone showing at all 8 shows for a great season!  Hopefully, the more shows you make the more points you get, and finish as champion in your division for the year! 

-

For points to count toward year end awards, the OWNER of the horse MUST be a member of the AApHC for Arkansas points to count for the horse or the rider.  As an example, if a youth rides a friends’ or trainers’ horse that friend or trainer MUST be a member for the youth points to count.

Of course, for the horses’ points to count for National points in the open classes the owner must also be a member of the national club.
