The Silver Dollar Circuit held in Las Vegas, Nevada just finished up this past weekend. It was held at the South Point Equestrian Hotel, Casino, and Spa.
The judges for the show were Andrea Simons, Robin Frid, Patty Campbell, Mike Hawkins, Suzy Jeane, and Jeff Mellott. The second AQHA pilot leveling program was held during this show where Executive Director of Shows Patti Carter-Pratt was there to help make sure it was a success.
GoHorseShow.com’s Director of Sales, Jennifer Simpson thought it was a great show. “It was wonderful to see all of our valued advertisers and I really enjoyed getting to meet new people,” Jennifer told us. “The level of competition was outstanding and show management did a very nice job accommodating everyone.”
This year the Silver Dollar Circuit was full of fun competition with riders attending from all around the country. The show offered NSBA classes as well as incorporating the new leveling program in all AQHA classes. The classes were all substantial with the largest numbers in the trail and western riding – there were over 80 entries in the Senior Trail. The rail and pattern classes were all quite big as well and showmanship and horsemanship were often 5 point classes. In addition, the annual lunch sponsored by the Gillette family was also a great success and provided for a fun mid-day get away. Also, the South Point Hotel and Casino hosted the AQHA Convention the four days prior to the start of the Silver Dollar Circuit. This provided for an opportunity for many convention attendees from all around the world to spectate and see the South Point Equestrian Center as well as the well known sights of Las Vegas.
