AQHA Announces 3-Year-Old Western Pleasure Stakes at AQHA World Show

AQHA announces a new 3-year-old western pleasure stakes class sponsored by the makers of Zimeta at the 2020 AQHA World Championship Show in November at the OKC Fairgrounds in Oklahoma City.

The American Quarter Horse Association and Kindred Biosciences, Inc. have teamed up to bring a new stakes class for 3-year-old western pleasure horses to the 2020 AQHA World Championship Show in November at the OKC Fairgrounds in Oklahoma City. The stakes class will be named after Zimeta, which is the first and only drug FDA-approved for the control of pyrexia (fever) in horses.1

The total purse for the Zimeta 3-year-old western pleasure stakes class is a minimum of $5,000. Entry information for the class will be available at a later date, pending the show is held due to local, state, and government mandates related to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.

“AQHA is proud to partner with KindredBio, the makers of Zimeta, on this opportunity to highlight 3-year-old American Quarter Horses at the AQHA World Show,” said Craig Huffhines, AQHA executive vice president. “Currently, AQHA offers 2-year-old, junior and senior western pleasure classes at the AQHA World Show, and adding this stakes class will give 3-year-old American Quarter Horses the opportunity to showcase their talent as they are readied for competition against horses in the junior division.”

The 3-year-old western pleasure class is also a part of the 2020 Western Pleasure Challenge, which is a new addition to the 2020 AQHA World Show.

To be eligible for the Western Pleasure Challenge, exhibitors must compete in the 3-year-old western pleasure stakes class. Exhibitors can also count up to two additional open division western pleasure classes toward their total score. The same exhibitor must show each horse in their respective class. The total of each horse’s placing in their respective western pleasure class determines the overall challenge winner. View more details about the Western Pleasure Challenge.
