Each year the All American Quarter Horse Congress develops a lecture and demonstration series that features some of the industry’s most notable professionals. This year, topics range from Equine Piroplasmosis to show ring attire and paddock fencing to judging performance halter. Professional horse trainers such as Bruce Vickery, Randy Wilson and Jackie Krshka are slated to give demonstrations highlighting different disciplines, among several others.
