Located just outside of Seattle, Washington, these two AQHA circuits averaged 2,000 total entries, making them among the five largest quarter horse circuits held on the west coast in 2009. The facility is top notch boasting more than 400 indoor permanent stalls, a 120×248 indoor arena with grandstands, an additional large covered arena, plus three more outdoor arenas. In addition the classes are dually approved with NSBA, plus there are NSBA approved western pleasure and hunter under saddle futurities at both circuits with prize money in excess of $30,000. Also, there are nightly exhibitor parties with free food and drinks! Top that off with world caliber judges, and you have even more reasons to visit us in the beautiful Pacific Northwest.
The 2009 Northwest Emerald Classic Quarter Horse circuit awarded in excess $30,000 in cash and prizes. In the premiere event, the all-breed maiden two year old western pleasure, the total purse was $18,000 with seven horses showing. Monica Baker won the class on Elite Le Zipped Up, taking home $10,000 for first place and additional prizes for the highest placing female rider, and the highest placing paint horse shown. Elite Le Zipped up is owned by Patty Baker of Olympia , WA. Finishing in second place and receiving $5,000 was Ziperb, a two year old Appaloosa stallion owned by Jodi Schaufus of Middleboro, MA, and shown by Mark Schaffer.

It’s important to note that the Northwest Emerald show held in
September is the week before the wonderful Santa Barbara horse show
which is then followed by the Scottsdale Classic. So you can plan to do
an entire West Coast run, starting out in Seattle, heading down to
Santa Barbara and then on to Arizona for mucho points!
