Pintos Prepare for World-Class Competition

May 9, 2013 Off By Roberta Johnston

The world’s largest gathering of Pinto horses, ponies and miniatures will commence on June 10!

Tulsa’s Built Ford Tough Livestock Complex at Expo Square will once again serve as home to equines, exhibitors and spectators from around the globe, June 10-22, 2013. The 2013 Pinto World Championship’s world-class competition will cover most disciplines including Western, English, Saddle Seat and several fun classes, as well.

There are several ways for the public to get involved at the PWC, in addition to exhibitors. The PWC Market Place hosts nearly 75 vendors, with equine products, home décor and plenty of clothing.

“The Pinto Horse Association staff is working diligently to produce a top-notch show for all of our exhibitors,” said Darrell Bilke, PtHA Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer. “In addition to old favorites, there will be new events that are sure to be a hit!”

In addition to the competition and shopping, several special events will take place over the 13-day period. The Costume Class, Challenged Rider’s Leadline, Pink Your Pinto and Versatilities are always a big hit. You can also take the opportunity on Flag Day to honor our military personnel through the Horses4Heroes class, free ride that afternoon and Patriot PAWS demonstration.
