ABOUT US

The Western Pennsylvania Quarter Horse Association is a large, highly successful regional organization that promotes the values of owning and exhibiting Quarter Horses. The object of WPQHA is to promote in all ways the interests of Pennsylvania Quarter Horse owners, to increase the number of Pennsylvania breeders and owners of quarter horses registered by the American Quarter Horse Association and to help advance Pennsylvania to the position of  one of the leading quarter horse states  This is accomplished through sponsoring AQHA approved Quarter Horse shows, Open Shows, Clinics, Youth Team affiliations, Futurities, and other equine repeated events in the area.

WPQHA produces 26 AQHA approved horse shows, 9 Open Show, and  NOHSA, over the Summer, May through August each year. WPQHA also either sponsors or provides facilities for other Breed shows, Open shows, and special equine events such as Hunters/Jumper Events, dressage, special Olympics, National Snaffle Bit Association, and National Reining Horse Association. These events attract nearly 30,000 entries annually.

WPQHA in recent years, has committed nearly a quarter of a million dollars in improvements to a show ground that is becoming a premier equine facility. This facility is not Government owned or subsidized. WPQHA is one of the few association owned show grounds in the country.

The WPQHA’s pledge to Quarter Horse Enthusiasts is to provide good, well-run shows offering incentives and premiums to exhibitors at our shows. Come show with the WPQHA!
