AQHA Releases New Trail DVD

“Showing to Win: Trail” is a comprehensive look at the standards for the trail class.

The American Quarter Horse Journal, October 15, 2009 – AQHA has released the second DVD in the Showing to Win series. “Showing to Win: Trail” is an in-depth look at one of the most popular western show classes. The DVD is geared for all trail exhibitors, trainers and judges.

For “Showing to Win: Trail,” AQHA teamed with some of the best-known and well-respected AQHA Professional Horsemen, judges and exhibitors in Charlie Cole, Leslie Lange and Jim Searles, who walk viewers through the required parts of the pattern and explain the maneuver scores, pluses and minuses.

“Showing to Win: Trail” illustrates the standards and provides information exhibitors need to successfully navigate a trail pattern and the judge’s score card. Using unique graphics and video technology, “Showing to Win: Trail” defines the trail scoring system and what the judges are looking for in a trail pattern.

“This DVD series is designed to help exhibitors understand the rules and the judging standards of the classes to help improve the performance of their horses in the show pen,” said Alex Ross, AQHA executive director of judges. “We appreciate the AQHA Professional Horsemen who shared their expertise in trail to help other exhibitors become better riders.”

Retailing at $24.95, AQHA members receive a $5 discount and can purchase the video for $19.95. The DVD can be purchased online at Quarter Horse Outfitters, www.aqhastore.com.

“Showing to Win: Trail” will be available for purchase at the AQHA booth at the All American Quarter Horse Congress in Columbus, Ohio, which continues through October 25, and also at Quarter Horse Outfitters at the AQHA World Show Trade Show, November 6-21 in Oklahoma City.

This DVD is the second in a series presenting the standards expected in AQHA’s most popular classes. “Showing to Win: Western Pleasure” became the best-selling AQHA DVD of all time when it was released in the spring. Watch for more class DVDs in the Showing to Win series to be released by AQHA.
