The Youth World Championship Show takes place June 27–July 9 in Fort Worth, Texas. Youth World Show classes will run Jun 28–July 6, with a supplemental event held July 7–9; additional details on this supplemental event will be released at a later date.
Entries, stall reservations and RV reservations are due May 16 for the best rates—the Youth World Show premium book and forms will be available online soon. Here are a few reasons you’ll definitely want to put the Youth World Show on your show schedule:
- Scholarships galore—Last year’s Youth World Show featured more than $165,000 in scholarships for exhibitors, and this year looks to be bigger and better than ever. Scholarships will be awarded to top-placing exhibitors as well as one lucky random-draw exhibitor in each world championship class.
- Intermediate exhibitor recognition for top-placing exhibitors who have never before placed in the Top Five in a specific class at the Youth World Show.
- Dual-approved events through the National Snaffle Bit Association and the National Reining Horse Association.
- Fun classes, including disciplined rail, ideal Paint, ride-a-buck bareback Western equitation, versatility challenge and freestyle shankless showmanship.
- Barrel racing bonus—a $1,000 Paint Barrel Racing Incentive Program sidepot for the fastest Paints in the Hopes & Dreams Barrel Racing Sweepstakes.
- Youth events and parties. Watch for announcements about Youth events and fun social gatherings happening throughout the show! You don’t want to miss the team tournament or the dog races!
