With the 2017 All American Quarter Horse Congress winding down, we have more candids from the show.
For many, the Congress has been a time for firsts – first time showing, first win and first time attendees.
We have seen youth exhibitors like Bella Rosa, Sarah Finkel and Emma Edwards win their first Congress Championships while others like Allie Paul, Dan Yeager, Rebekah Kazakevicious and Mallory Vroegh had repeat wins.
We congratulate everyone on a great show so far.
