“AQHA is very thankful to have the AQHA World Show Task Force on hand to carefully plan the World Show schedule,” said Tom Persechino, AQHA executive director of competition and breed integrity. “The task force comprises exhibitors, both trainers and amateurs; owners; breeders; AQHA alliance representatives; ground preparation specialists; and course designers.
“Due to the size and the nature of the World Show, it certainly is one of the more challenging events to plan,” Persechino added. “We are grateful that this diverse group of AQHA members is involved in the planning and scheduling process of the show.”
