Yearly Archives: 2011

Susan Johns of Paradise Valley, Arizona, faced a tough pattern and a tough field of competitors coming into the August 31 horsemanship finals at the 2011 Adequan Select World Championship Show.

Steve Gunn was no stranger to a win photo, but for the first time, he was the one sitting tall in the saddle, side by side with an AQHA world championship trophy.

To Katherine Haynes of Oxford, Mississippi, just being at the 2011 Adequan Select World Championship Show is a check off her bucket list. In 2008, Kathy was diagnosed with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), a form of leukemia that is always fatal. A doctor gave Kathy only three months to live if there was not a perfect match for a stem cell transplant.

Developed by the AQHA Amateur Committee, this new program allows the highest point-earning exhibitor in each class from each state who just missed earning the prescribed number of qualifying points to the AQHA World Show or Select World Show to be invited to compete in that class at the World Show. Invitations for the Bank of America Amateur World Show are now being processed.
