Attendees of the 2012 All American Quarter Horse Congress will get to see some quick-draw action when the AQHA Cowboy Mounted Shooting event is held this year on Sunday, October 28.
The Ohio Quarter Horse Association, which hosts the Congress annually, approved the addition of open, amateur, and youth AQHA-approved Mounted Shooting classes to the 2012 show schedule at its March 19th Board of Directors meeting. Although the details are still being worked out, organizers expect about 150 mounted shooters to participate during the inaugural event.
The show’s management made changes to the 2012 Congress show schedule, which resulted in the Celeste Center being open on the last day of the show, noted Congress Tri-Chairman Skip Salome. “The Mounted Shooting classes will be great for spectators, and we’re really excited to have them,” Salome said during the presentation to board members. OQHA is working with the Ohio Outlaw Shooters group to iron out details for the event.
The AQHA Cowboy Mounted Shooting classes will be in addition to 43 new classes announced earlier this month when OQHA released the tentative show schedule for the 2012 show.
The All American Quarter Horse Congress is the world’s largest single breed horse show, bringing more than 650,000 people and an estimated 180 million in revenue to Columbus, Ohio, during the show’s three-week run each October. For additional information, please visit www.oqha.com.
