This year the Spring Breakout / Dave Higgins Memorial Show will be held April 20-22, 2018. We listened to our exhibitors and pushed the show date back this year, with hopes of better weather than in years past.
Once again we will be featuring 6 judges and VQHA points will count double. The show will feature several money added classes, including a Ranch Rail jackpot class based on the highest placing horse shown both days. We are excited to once again be the host show for the Hylton Maiden 3-Year-Old and Over Western Pleasure class. This class is always an exciting one to watch, featuring some of the best horses in the country.
This is going to be a fun show!! We encourage everyone to book your stalls early, this is going to be one you’re not going to want to miss!!
