That’s a wrap - AQHYA World Show 2026! 🏆

We had some great rides, some learning moments, some tough breaks, and a lot of breakthroughs - could not be more proud of these girls and the work they put in these last several weeks getting prepared for, and stepping into the pen!

All the late nights and early mornings, little sleep, intense heat, and a ton of personal bests - these two ladies persevered and showed up every single day. We are fortunate to witness not only the horsemen, but the humans, they are becoming and are excited to watch them put it all on the line again next week in Tulsa!

TNT Events @ New Jersey Quarter Horse Association did an amazing job putting on this show - keeping things running smoothly, great awards and prizes, and all the extra fun events for the youth (and adults 😜). We can’t thank them enough, along with the judges, sponsors, show and facility staff, and of course Flossie Ale!
