America’s Horse, April 29, 2009 – Hannah Montana’s horse, “Blue Jeans”; the two-hour smoke, lights, music and horses Extravaganza; mounted shooting with Outlaw Annie Bianco; horsemanship clinics; a trail ride through the beautiful Cedars of Lebanon State Park; and horse activities for the kids are sure to be the highlights of the first-ever QuarterFest: A Celebration of the American Quarter Horse, this weekend – May 1-3 – in Murfreesboro, Tennessee.
QuarterFest is a tribute to everyone’s favorite animal – the American Quarter Horse. So bring your horse along. We’ll have clinics and demonstrations all weekend long, with seven professional horsemen and -women: Curt and Tammy Pate, a husband and wife from Newell, South Dakota; Jeff Griffith of Gallatin Gateway, Montana; Bob Avila of Temecula, California; Julie Goodnight of Salida, Colorado; Christy Landwehr of Aurora, Colorado; and Bo Winslow of Estes Park, Colorado.
There will be a limited number of spots available for people to participate in clinics with their horses. However, there are unlimited opportunities to attend clinics without your horse. Visit www.aqha.com/quarterfest for the schedule and to enroll in the clinics and purchase your general admission, clinic and Extravaganza tickets. Avoid long lines at the gate and get your tickets online before you arrive!
The production company for “Hannah Montana: The Movie” has sent us loads of Hannah Montana T-shirts, posters and other cool stuff, so besides getting your picture taken with Blue Jeans – be sure to bring your own camera – you’ll have a chance to get some of the cool movie merchandise, too.
In addition, the American Quarter Horse Association also will be offering several specials and giveaways including a WeatherBeeta cooler, AQHA Best Remuda coffee-table book or a Professional’s Choice saddle pad to those who purchase AQHA memberships as part of some crazy “blue-light specials”; a Tex Tan saddle for those who upgrade to three-year or life memberships; an MD Barns round-pen will be given away in a drawing from the names of those who do business at the AQHA booth; and a GPS and free riding hours will be given away in drawings related to the AQHA Horseback Riding Program. We’re even offering deals on subscriptions to AQHA’s official business publication, The American Quarter Horse Journal. And the Dude Ranchers’ Association, an AQHA alliance partner, is giving away two dude ranch vacations – one each night of the Extravaganza.
QuarterFest is a three-day, education-packed celebration where horse enthusiasts from around the world will gather for fun, entertainment and festivities to honor the world’s most versatile horse – the American Quarter Horse.
