The Denver Queen City Horse Show (DQCHS) has exciting plans for 2009! The horse show is in its 41st year and is located at the National Western Events Center, 1515 East 47th Avenue, Denver, CO. It will be held July 16-18, 2009 and entries close on June 15, 2009. The horse show offers two show performances daily at 10:00 am and 6:00 pm and last approximately 3 hours each. The horse show attracts approximately 100-150 World Class American Saddlebred horses, Arabians, Morgans, Hackney Ponies, and various other breeds. Thursday and Friday nights will open with a grand entry presentation by the Westernaires and Saturday night will open with a demonstration from Praying Hands Ranch (a therapeutic riding school for the handicapped). All special presentations start at 6:00 pm.
The horse show will also hold a UPHA ASB Five Gaited Ladies Championship Class. Celebrants will be honored in center ring during the class. Many Pink Ribbon items will be sold during the show, including car magnets, lapel pins, and hats, with the proceeds to benefit the Susan G Komen Foundation for the Cure and the United Professional Horseman's Association. All exhibitors and spectators are encouraged to wear pink for Saturday night's performance which starts at 6:00 pm.
The 41st Denver Queen City Horse Show is a United States Equestrian Federation "A" rated show, featuring the Colorado American Saddlebred State Championships, Colorado American Saddlebred Futurity, offering 2 Grand National Classes (Yearling Open with $2,400 in added money and Five Gaited Open Stake with $1,800 in added money), plus awarding over $4,500.00 in total prize money.
Additional cash prizes will be awarded to trainers that bring horses to the horse show! Cash awards include $250 to the trainer who makes the longest drive to the show, $250 to the trainer who wins the most blue ribbons at the show, $250 to the trainer who brings the most horses to the show, and $250 to the barn who shows the most non-saddlebred horses in open classes. Additionally, a name will be drawn each night following the evening performance for a $50 cash prize. All horse show participants are eligible to win.
Proceeds from the show itself benefit Praying Hands Ranch. Each year the horse show is able to make a substantial contribution to our benefactor. Praying Hands Ranch is a local horseback riding facility for handicapped individuals, located in Parker, Colorado. The facility runs at little or not cost to its patrons to help the individual connect with an animal. It also aids the riders with their motor skills. The improvement made by those who participate in this program is unbelievable! Just seeing the joy on the faces of the children and adults is heartwarming. On championship night at the Denver Queen City Horse Show, Praying Hands Ranch completes a 30 minute exhibition for their riders to show what they have learned and how well they handle the horses. There is usually not a dry eye in the house at the completion of their exhibition. This year the exhibition will be conducted on Saturday, July 18th at 6:00 pm.
Come and join us in the beautiful state of Colorado for a vacation AND a horse
show! Colorado offers many wonderful vacation opportunities! We hope to see
you at the show!
