Show Dates For 2010

April 24th

June 12th

Well it's that time again! We're all gettin' ready for the 2010 Show Season! This season we are going to have 2 separate shows so everyone will have a chance at either one. This way if you can't make the first one, you can still come out for the second and have the same opportunity as everyone else. The 2010 shows will be held at the Trinity Valley Exposition Arena in Liberty, TX. The dates will be April 24th and June 12th. We are having the shows early in the year so as to finish up the season before the full summer heat sets in. So hone up your riding skills and we hope to see y'all there!!

The Greater Baytown Quarter Horse Association is based in Baytown, TX, approximately 25 miles due east of Houston. We have the 2010 Show Dates which are posted above. We have decided to go back to the single show - single judge format in order to make the cost more reasonable in the current economic climate. We are also looking for new Board Members to inject fresh ideas in to the mix. If you are interested, please call one of the Board Members to find out when and where we are meeting.

We at GBQHA believe that you should have fun at our shows, so we do not require that any of the participants do any "work" while showing. We have a great bunch of volunteers that graciously donate their time and labor to help make the show run smoothly. This way you can concentrate on being the best that you can be.

You can save time by printing and filling out the Entry Forms prior to arrival. You can also pre-submit your entries by emailing them to podd2657@verizon.net. You can do this in two ways. You can print the form, fill it out, scan it and then email it as an attachment OR you can send our email form by following the directions on the email form page. Entry forms are in Adobe .pdf format. If you have any questions, please contact one of the Board Members.

As usual, all AQHA rules apply at our shows. In addition, we have an internal set of rules pertaining to GBQHA shows. You can access both the GBQHA and AQHA Rules here.  There has been a change in the rules regarding series award eligibility, please read. You can also view and print the Showbill.

Visit our new Pictures page and see if you made it on our website. We are attempting to compile a list of email addresses of people that would like to receive the notifications by email. This would greatly reduce our costs of operating the shows. In addition, it can help us to send out notification in the event that we have to re-schedule, postpone or cancel a coming show. If you would like to receive notifications by email, send an email to gbqha@gbqha.com with your full name and a request to be added to the list. We promise these emails will be kept confidential and will not be used for any purpose other than GBQHA business. One other note, if you are not currently on our email or mailing list and would like to be added, email us your FULL name and mailing address and we will add you. This is for your own protection to prevent spammers from joining our group.

One note on the egroup: many Internet Service Providers (ISP's) are routinely filtering emails from yahoogroups. You must specifically request that these emails are allowed to be delivered to you or you will not receive them. You will need to check with your ISP and find out if they filter them and how to allow the emails through.

We are always in need of sponsors to help us with the operating costs of the show. If anyone would like to sponsor the classes or if you know of a sponsor that would like to help, please contact one of our Board Members.
