PREMIER MAGAZINE CLASSES

Funded by advertising sales, Premier Magazine classes are open to all horses regardless of who the sires is. New for 2025, to show in any Premier Magazine Non-Pro class at The Premier, the exhibitor must have an annual advertising pass. To show in any Premier Magazine Open class at The Premier, the owner of the horse must have an annual advertising pass. Premier Magazine also dedicates a portion of advertising sales to sponsoring classes at other shows which do not require an advertising pass to show in.

Payout: 100% to owner

MAQHA CORPORATE CHALLENGE

July 10-14, 2024

  • The advertising pass allows for unlimited advertising for the entire year for any horse(s) owned by the pass holder.
  • Only one non-pro exhibitor may compete per pass. For example, a mother owns all of the horses but both she and her daughter show in the non-pro events. One pass would allow all horses owned by the mother, including those shown by her daughter, to be advertised but only one of them could show in the Premier Magazine classes. If both the mother and daughter plan to show in the Premier Magazine classes than they would each need to have an advertising pass.
  • An advertising pass is only required if you want to show in the Premier Magazine classes at The Premier. Premier Magazine also sponsors classes at other shows where an advertising pass is not required.
  • The Premier Magazine classes are entirely separate from the Premier Sires program. Horses enrolled in Premier Sires who are planning to show in the Premier Sires Limited Series, Breeders Futurity, Maiden and/or Stakes classes do not need to buy an advertising pass unless they also want to show in the Premier Magazine classes.
  • An advertising pass is not required to show in the AQHA shows at The Premier.
  • You do not have to buy a pass for each class you want to show in. One pass allows you to show in as many of the Premier Magazine classes as you want to.
