The 2025 Virginia Bred Program
The goal of the Virginia Quarter Horse Association (VQHA) Virginia-Bred Program is to contribute to the Virginia horse-breeding industry by:
- Showcasing the talents and accomplishments of horses born in Virginia
- Developing resources for horse breeders in Virginia
- Providing prize money and promotion to exhibitors, breeders, and owners.
- How to Enter Virginia Bred Classes
- Virginia Bred Entry Form
- History of The Virginia Bred Program
- How to Sponsor Virginia Bred
- Breeders Directory
In 2025, VQHA Virginia-Bred classes will be held at the Jac O’Lantern Classic at the Meadow Event Park in Doswell, VA October 31st through November 2nd. You can access the showbill. The stall reservation form is available here. These classes will be open to any stock-horse type horse born in Virginia, irrespective of the breed. Each class will offer:
- Jackpotted entry fees
- Added money
- Buckles to the winners
- Halters to reserve
- And various prizes
Participants do not need to register a horse’s sire or dam. Stallion- or mare-owners may choose to nominate their horses to receive additional publicity, but Virginia-Bred classes are automatically open to any stockhorse type born in Virginia.
AQHA-only Virginia-Bred classes will be offered at the Virginia Harvest at the Virginia Horse Center, Lexington, VA, November 21-23, 2025.
