Starts Friday, Nov. 7

Quarter horse excellence is on prime display starting Friday, Nov. 7, at Oklahoma State Fair Park. The AQHA World Championship Quarter Horse Show is the biggest event of the year for the quarter horse industry with owners and exhibitors from around the world gathering to show and compete in a variety of riding classes and disciplines. The show, which continues through Nov. 22, will present more than $2.5 million in awards and prizes during its run at 3001 General Pershing Blvd., Oklahoma City, but you don’t have to be an owner or vendor to take advantage of all the special events.
