AQHA World Show

Texas A&M's All-Star Horse Judging Team competed at the AQHA World Show, the pinnacle contest of the year, on Thursday, November 2, in Oklahoma City, OK. For the first time since 2005, Texas A&M University Horse Judging was named the National Champion Team and had a clean sweep in all divisions. This has been an exceptional, hardworking, humble group of people to work with. These students are a phenomenal representation of the Aggie Core Values and the Texas A&M Horse Judging Team motto, "Stay Humble, Hustle Hard."
