Land Of Enchantment Circuit

The 2024 Land Of Enchantment Circuit was held April 5th-7th, once again at EXPO New Mexico, our traditional venue. We had two sets of classes with three judges, basically the same format as we had for our 75th Anniversary Celebration show in 2023! A big THANK YOU to our sponsors, staff, judges volunteers, exhibitors and their families, without whose help this show would not have been possible

Dressage and Western Dressage

We had three Classical Dressage and Western Dressage events in conjunction with the Arabian Horse Association of New Mexico at three AHANM shows in 2023. These were WDAA and AQHA approved events. We will continue this program in 2024 at two AHANM shows and at the NMState Fair. The first event was the Chamisa Classic, March 15-17, the second will be the Zia Classic, May 7-12, details at nmarabs.org/zia-classic. The third will be at the NM State Fair September 6th. These shows will also have All-Breed English, western, ranch and over fences classes as well as the Dressage (AQHA) and Western Dressage (AQHA & WDAA) event.

New Mexico State Fair

There will be an AQHA/NMQHA approved show this year at the NMSF. All NMSF horse shows, September 4th-15th, 2024, will be under new management with Mariah Wilson. The AQHA show, double judged, will be in cooperation with the NMQHA Board and Show Committee! The 2024 NMSF will be revitalized with added money, prizes, perks, clinics and will be of direct benefit to participating organizations including NMQHA. Once again, more information with specific dates will be posted soon.
