AQHYA exhibitors are invited to enter the 2022 Ford AQHYA World Championship Show, slated for July 28 – August 7 at the OKC Fairgrounds in Oklahoma City.
“This is a historic year for the Ford Youth World as we mark the 50th anniversary of the show,” said Justin Billings, AQHA chief show officer. “Come join us as we re-live the past, celebrate the present and shape the future by welcoming riders and their American Quarter Horses from around the world who will be competing for the coveted gold globe. We are also excited to debut four new Youth World offerings this year; Nutrena Level 1 Champion of Champions, all-around titles for both 14-18 and 13-&-Under Level 3 divisions, Adequan Level 2 core classes for 13-&-Under exhibitors and, finally, optional jackpots with cash payouts for the first time in Youth World history!”
