Central States Winter Tournament

OUR NEXT TOURNAMENT IS MARCH 15th

All tournaments will begin at 10:00 am in the SCOTT PAVILLION, at the American Royal complex.

You MUST call in your entries by the Wednesday before the show; after Wednesday, entries will NOT be accepted. Please order your stalls early. Class changes during the show are acceptable. Entry fees are $15. Stall fees are $30. Use our on-line Entry Form (below) and we will email you back an invoice, so that you'll be able to mail your fees or bring a check to the show.

NOTE: Stall space is VERY LIMITED. Please order your stalls early to insure availability. Tack stalls will be extremely limited and we request that if you can work without one, please do. NO HORSES ALLOWED THAT ARE NOT SHOWING, we simply do not have the stall space. Weather permitting, you may show out of your trailer, provided you clean up before you leave. Anyone who exhibits from their trailer and leaves behind a mess will be charged an undisclosed amount for the clean-up, so please be considerate!

The warm-up ring will be restricted to the class prior to that currently in the ring.
