Show Format
The club has decided to continue using the SPLIT/COMBINED format. Friday will be a full day and Saturday & Sunday will be split/combined.
SPLIT/COMBINED SHOW FORMAT DESCRIPTION (from AQHA website)
"Another efficient way for exhibitors to rack up more points is to attend a split/combined show. Any two consecutive shows (like a Saturday and Sunday show) can be combined into one show and split over two days. There are two judges and two sets of points and the class is held only once, a real bonus for exhibitors who are trying to qualify for the World Shows or earn year-end awards. Expect to pay two entry fees which is the norm for most split/combined shows."

Jerry Nanik Memorial Awards
In 2013, we lost a dear friend and dedicated horseman, Mr. Jerry Nanik. He supported our shows for many years and his smiles and hugs will be dearly missed. The club decided to implement two memorial awards in his honour and memory. Jerry's favorite classes were halter and trail.
We will offer a Champion of Champions Halter class where all grand and reserve winners from each division (mares, geldings and stallions - youth, amateur and open) will compete for an overall champion halter horse (sponsored by Colleen Wieringa). The class will be held Saturday after the last halter class.
We will also offer an trail award (sponsored by Noni Almond). The prize will go to the highest point winner in trail over the three shows. The division for this year will be announced soon!

Stalls & Bedding
Box stalls $100.00 for the weekend including shavings. Tack stalls may not be available. Let them know if you would like one when you pay and if we have enough you will receive them on a first-come first-reserved basis.
2018 Pre-payment of Stalls: As a result of a significant numbers of exhibitors booking stalls and then not showing up with any notice to BQHA for our 2017 show, discussion was held regarding holding stalls only for those who have paid in advance. Our 2017 show could have been reduced to the use of 2 barns which would have aided in overall grounds clean-up and show preparation.
Therefore, it was decided that: Stalls will be pre-paid and non-refundable via e-transfer to bqha.emo@gmail.com or by cheque to B.Q.H.A., c/o P.O. Box 199, Devlin, ON P0W 1C0 for the 2018 show, no later than July 15, 2018. Stalls will not be held if not paid by this date. Note: please email before sending eTransfer or cheque.
US mailing address: BQHA c/o PO Box 443, International Falls, MN 56649
For the health and safety of your horse, a negative coggins and up-to-date vaccinations are recommended.

AQHA Hunter Hack Classes
New for 2018! We will be offering youth, amateur and open hunter hack classes. Here's how AQHA describes it: SHW625. HUNTER HACK. The purpose of hunter hack is to give horses and opportunity to show their expertise over low fences and on the flat. The hunter hack horse should move in the same style as a working hunter. The class will be judged on style over fences, even hunting pace, flat work, manners and way of going. The poll should be level with, or slightly above the withers, to allow proper impulsion behind. The head should not be carried behind the vertical, giving the appearance of intimidation, or be excessively nosed out, giving a resistant appearance.
Special Classes
Lead Line - ages 6 & under - no fee
Walk Trot - ages 7-11 - no fee
Youth Walk Trot Showmanship - included in the day fee (points will go towards youth walk/trot all around)
