October means Quarter Horse Congress time! This year’s dates are October 6th-28th.
The All American Quarter Horse Congress is the World’s Largest Single-Breed Horse Show. Held in Columbus, Ohio for more than 40 years, Congress is a combination horse show, trade show, educational demonstrations, horse auction, and all around party. Every western horseman should experience it once in their life.
How big is Congress? THIS big:
• more than 16,000 horse show entries
• houses than 8,500 registered American Quarter Horses over 3 weeks
• attracts more than 650,000 people to the Columbus area
• brings more than $110 million to the central Ohio economy
For all the details, check out the official website: QH Congress
The Columbus (Ohio) Dispatch has a very fun article about the trade show portion of Congress and how much money is spent on equine products and equipment.
Saddle up and spend
