Region 17
 
 
The show season is well underway and most riders' minds now drift to the idea of showing at the Regional Show. We hope you are thinking of the Region 17 show - a great show, with great competition, in a great location!

The Region 17 Championship Show will be held this year July 25 - 29 at the Calgary Stampede Park, Calgary, Alberta.  For those of you who have not shown in Calgary before, there is easy access from the east, the west and the United States -whether you travel by truck and trailer or airplane.  There are great hotels and restaurants.  Calgary is home of the famous Calgary Stampede and the 1988 Olympics. For our American friends, the US dollar enjoys a strong exchange rate against the Canadian dollar.

The Calgary Arabian Horse Association will be holding a preshow if you still need to qualify, so don't worry if you haven't qualified yet... use the preshow to come and join us.

Visit the Region 17 webpage for information about the show, the show hotels, entry forms and all of the fun events planned.  This is the friendliest, funnest show you will ever attend!!!

Region 17 Select Stallion Auction and Futurity
The Region 17 Select Stallion Auction is underway and we are having a tremendous year! There is over FIFTY stallions (that's right 50) enrolled this year encompassing many breeds, colours and disciplines. We have a fantastic selection of Halter, Hunter Pleasure, Racing, Country English, Endurance, Sport Horse, Working Western and Western Pleasure Purebred Arabians to choose from. In addition to this for the Part-bred enthusiast we have an impressive array of AQHA Reining and Working Western stallions, beautifully coloured APHA stallions, as well as Warmblood and Pony Sport Horse stallions!
 
Bidding on these wonderful stallions is now open and will remain so until the end of the Region 17 Championship Show in July. All of the breedings sold this year are for use in the 2018 breeding season. The get of the resulting breedings are eligible to compete in one of four yearling halter classes (Purebred Fillies, Purebred Colts/Geldings, HA Fillies, HA Colts/Geldings) and one of TEN Performance classes as FIVE year-olds. As all classes are amateur to handle/ride, we have bumped our performance year up to five years of age at the request of our supporters. In addition to that, by popular demand, we have added a Reining class to the Performance Futurity! As of the 2018 breeding year, all foals will be eligible for one class in Purebred or Half-breed in the following : Hunter Pleasure, Country English Pleasure, Western Pleasure, Sport Horse Under Saddle and Reining! 
 
The 2017 Futurity takes place at the Region 17 Championship show and we have over $10,000 to give away this year to our Futurity entries! With over 50 stallions in this year's auction, the pot of winnings is sure to be substantial as this is our biggest year to date! We invite you to come have a look at the great selection of stallions available to meet your breeding needs! Come and see us at:   www.SelectStallionAuction.com !
