Last year, AQHA and the City of Amarillo agreed to keep the Adequan Select World in Amarillo for another three years. With the new contract, the city and the fairgrounds continue to make improvements to riding areas and stalls to ensure they meet the needs of this world class event and AQHA’s Select exhibitors. In addition to the vast array of facility improvements made last year, competitors will also find additional riding room. The arena south of the Bill Cody Arena has expanded to a 110-by-250-foot outdoor covered arena. The new arena’s cover is taller than the Terry Grant Arena and will be lighted for exhibitors’ convenience.
