All-around added money at the 2024 APHA World Championship Show has swelled to nearly $100,000 this year. The exclusive bonus purses are available in tons of hunter under saddle, Western pleasure, longe line and trail classes at the 2024 World Show.
Challenge, sweepstakes, stakes and Gold Breeders’ Futurity classes are open to Regular Registry and Solid Paint-Bred horses, giving them all a shot at the all-around added money. Southern Belle Breeders’ classes are open to Regular Registry horses only and take place concurrent with the respective world championship class.
The World Show takes place June 21-July 7, 2024, at the Will Rogers Memorial Center in Fort Worth, Texas. Don’t forget to enter corresponding APHA world championship classes, too. Also, all Youth world championship classes pay out up to four scholarships worth $1,250 total. All told, the 2024 World Show will award more than $1.5 million in cash and prizes.
