AQHA open, amateur and Select amateur qualifiers are invited to enter the 2024 Nutrena AQHA World Championship Show; AQHA Select World Championship Show, presented by Adequan® (polysulfated glycosaminoglycan); Adequan® Level 2 Championships; and AQHA Level 1 Champion of Champions classes, slated for November 1-20 at the OKC Fairgrounds in Oklahoma City.
Entries are open online now and will close at 5 p.m. Central on September 16, with additional entry options available through October 9 with a late fee.
“This year’s Nutrena AQHA World Championship Show promises to be a competition to remember,” said Scott Neuman, AQHA Director of Competitions. “Top level competitors will vie for big purses and great prizes. Equaling the competition will be a host of social events, the Pleasure Versatility Challenge, the Ranch Horse Classic and many opportunities to celebrate 50 years of World Championship competition.”
Purse and Prizes
The 2024 Nutrena AQHA and Adequan® Select World Championship Shows will award a landmark prize line that includes cash, awards and exhibitor appreciation to mark the 50th anniversary of the show! This represents a guaranteed $200,000 increase from 2023. In efforts to continually improve upon the marquee event, AQHA is proud to award the increase in added money – all with no increase in entry fees from 2023. Every class at the 2024 AQHA World Show will feature added money!
Back for 2024, the top three placings in the Nutrena Level 3, Adequan® Select, Adequan® Level 2 and AQHA Level 1 Champion of Champions classes will all receive a leather jacket. The fourth- through 10th-place exhibitors in these classes will receive a championship vest. The winners of each stakes class will also receive a leather jacket and the second- through 10th-place exhibitors in the stakes classes will receive a vest.
All attendees are invited to join us for parties and social events throughout the show. The Gold Globe Lounge will be back in the Super Barn which will host several of the parties but is also a great place to start your day with a cup of coffee, grab a drink before one of the evening performances, or relax with friends while you watch the live feed.
