“The show is shaping up to be bigger and better than ever,” says Michele Wilheim, Rock Star Show Manager along with Sydney Miller. “In addition to the Hylton Maiden with $15,000 added, we’ve had a lot of interest in the Harris Versatility Challenge.”
This new event is held over two days and requires participation in three events–trail, western riding, and western pleasure. The entry fee is $500. The overall winner of the Challenge receives a new Harris show saddle. Highest placing non-pro receives $1,000. Remaining entry fees will be jackpotted and paid according to NSBA payout schedule. Rock Star will announce the winner of the Challenge on Saturday night while they await results from the Hylton Maiden class.
“VQHA has been working hard to put together classes and activities that appeal to a wide range of exhibitors,” Wilheim States. “We’re very excited to be a part of this and can hardly wait to watch not only the maiden horses on Saturday night, but also the talented all-around horses in the Harris Versatility.”
The entry form for the Virginia Classic is now posted on their website on the “Shows” tab. “You can save some time in the office or better yet, send your kids to wait in line for you by completing the form in advance,” Wilheim says. Click here to download the forms.
