Platinum Performance Named Title Sponsor of 2024 AQHA Ranch Horse Classic
Platinum Performance has signed on with the American Quarter Horse Association as the title sponsor of the inaugural AQHA Ranch Horse Classic, which will be held November 9 during the 2024 Nutrena AQHA World Championship Show, November 1 – 20, at the OKC Fairgrounds in Oklahoma City.
A minimum of $50,000 in added money will be up for grabs in the Ranch Horse Classic, which is an event that will show the versatility and talent of the American Quarter Horse. American Quarter Horses 3 to 5 years old are eligible and all are welcome to participate, including youth and amateur riders. Horses will be shown sequentially by the same exhibitor in ranch riding, ranch trail and ranch cow work (riders have the option to circle or rope). As an added bonus, Ranching Heritage-bred horses will also be automatically eligible for an additional side pot.
“We, along with the ranching council are excited to showcase this new event and put an emphasis on our ranching community for what they have done and continue to do for our American Quarter Horse,” said Karl Stressman, AQHA Chief Executive Officer. “Having Platinum Performance sponsor this event is huge for us and our exhibitors and shows their appreciation not only for our ranching community but also our amazing horses.”
