133. From Concept to Reality: Unpacking the New Versatility Classes

In this episode, we welcome back Sandy Jirkovsky and Dave Dillon from the American Paint Horse Association (APHA) to discuss a new and innovative set of classes being introduced this year: the versatility classes.

The guests reintroduce themselves and dive into the origins, rules, and expectations for both English and Western versatility. They outline the aims of these classes in promoting horse breeding and creating more competitive opportunities.

Details about upcoming showcases, scoring systems, common penalties, and educational resources like Horse IQ are also covered. The episode emphasizes the potential benefits for trainers, exhibitors, and the industry at large by offering a balanced view between preserving tradition and fostering innovation within the APHA community.
