The 2016 APHA World Championship Show is going green: with more than $600,000 in cash and prizes on the line—including big added-money events for reining, working cow horse, cutting, roping, pleasure and more—there’s never been a better time to make sure you and your Paint take a shot at the ultimate prize.
The show takes place November 2–13 at the Will Rogers Memorial Center in Fort Worth, Texas. More than 275 classes are on tap for the 10-day show, which is followed by two partner events open to all breeds: the USTRC Cowtown ShootOut and the ACHA/APHA Cowtown Cutting.
We’ve got almost $200,000 alone in added money earmarked for select events, in addition to world championship classes, Breeders’ Futurity and more. It’s not too late to enter—entry forms are available online, and entries are accepted until 5 p.m. the day before the class. Check out the full schedule at apha.com/oawcs.
