The Event Totals Are In –


These Were The Top AQHA Shows And Circuits In 2018.


From The American Quarter Horse Association From February in Las Vegas to the tail end of the year


in Florida, AQHA members turned out in droves to support shows, circuits and special events across the United States. Combined, the overall Top-10 AQHA shows saw entries to- taling 93,992 in 2018. Rankings were calculated by divid- ing the total number of entries for each event by the event’s total number of show numbers. “Congratulations to the show management teams be-


hind these top shows. It’s exciting to look at this list of shows and see both the East and West coasts represented, with shows from up north and down south, spanning spring, summer, fall and winter,” said AQHA Chief Show Officer Pete Kyle. “These show management teams work hard to pro-


vide exhibitor satisfaction and their dedication translated into their show being a major destination for competitors,” Kyle added.
