Horse Show Classes

June 22 through June 30, hundreds of youth equestrians from across the country and their families will make Fort Worth home for the 2012 Youth World Championship Paint Horse Show. The show is one of the breed's premier events, and is hosted annually by the American Paint Horse Association right here in Fort Worth.

And they will bring their world-class Paint Horses to compete head-to-head with other youth in hopes of being named World Champion. Over the course of nine days, APHA will name 81 Youth World Champions.

Join us to watch these young people at their finest. Classes range in skill and ability from leadline for the very young to speed, cattle, Western and English performance classes for those with a deeper skill set.
