IMPORTANT UPDATE
Another hit for the Equine Show Industry - It is with great sadness that we announce that The CQHA Board of Directors will be
cancelling
The Connecticut Classic scheduled for June 10-14, 2020.
This decision was made in conjunction with the Massachusetts Government mandate regarding Covid-19 as this show does not fall under the guidelines of the reopening of Massachusetts. We also want to take into consideration for the health and wellbeing of our exhibitors and staff. The health of all of us is paramount at this time and although disappointing, we hope you understand that we had no choice.
We will explore options to reschedule the show, if possible. Please pass this information along to others who may not be on or missed this notice on Facebook.
We thank you all for your patience and continued support of CQHA and the equine industry.
Please comply with the Massachusetts and CDC guidelines for avoiding exposure to Covid-19, and Stay Healthy!
With the reopening of Massachusetts - lets get ready for the Region 6 Super 6 in July!!! We are working with ESE and the state of Massachusetts to make this show work!!! Please if you are planning on attending, send along your stall reservations anytime to margetanner@aol.com (no deposits required at this time) and keep watching FB for upcoming details.

A Note from our President
January 24, 2020
Welcome to Connecticut Quarter Horse Association, we are a small family friendly association promoting the American Quarter Horse in our state and region.
For over 40 years most of our shows have been held at the beautiful Falls Creek Farm in Oneco, Connecticut. After a meeting last week with the new owners, we (CQHA BOD) had an emergency board meeting where a decision was made to move our April show to Northampton Massachusetts. This move will allow us to grow our show and still be at a family friendly venue.
We are looking forward to our show April 23, 24, 25, 26 2020 at the new improved Three County Fairgrounds in Northampton Massachusetts and our June show is on track for more fun and prizes at the Eastern States Exposition in West Springfield Massachusetts, June 17, 18, 19, 20, 21,2020. Currently the May and September shows are on hold.
I am really looking forward to our upcoming banquet February 8 in Rocky Hill, Connecticut. The banquet committee has been working hard to make this our best Banquet ever. They have reached out for suggestions, improved the awards and shortened the awards process to allow more time for dancing and camaraderie. The sponsor/square fundraiser is looking good with plenty of valuable prizes. Please don’t forget your membership must be paid by check so you can be entered in the drawing for free stall at the June show.
2020 seems to be a year of exciting new changes for CQHA our hard-working Board of Directors and I am looking forward to talking to you at the banquet and enjoying showing our AMAZING American Quarter Horses with you and your families this year.
