The New Jersey Quarter Horse Association is presenting its first show circuit of the 2017 year with a split/combined show at the Gloucester County Dream Park in Swedesboro. Action got started on Thursday night with Trail classes for Green, Amateur, Amateur Select, Youth and Small Fry. Showmanship kicked off today’s competition, followed by Hack, Hunter Under Saddle and Equitation classes before rounding out the day with Western Pleasure, Horsemanship, Ranch Riding and Reining. The temperatures reached well into the 80s, the sun was shining and everyone at the Dream Park seemed happy to get showing started in the Garden State. Tomorrow Halter classes will dominate the morning as competitors show to all four judges. Then English classes take over the spacious arena and the timed events will close out Saturday’s show schedule. The show will conclude on Sunday with Western riding events. Officiating this year are Glenn Wells, Kendra Weiss, Leonard Berryhill and Brett Clark. For more information visit www.njqha.com.
