The
West Virginia Quarter Horse Association is an AQHA affiliate organization
and calls Winfield, WV home. A total of 24 AQHA shows are held annually
at the showgrounds plus several contest and pleasure special events between April 24 and September
19. The WV Barrel Futurity is also held at
the grounds and offers some of the finest competition in the country.
Other features include the Amateur Team Tournament in conjunction
with the June 18-19 show and an All-Novice Show with free clinics
by AQHA Professional Horsemen on June 18. This year we will again sponsor two 4-day shows set to run July 1-4 and July 22-25 The West Virginia Breeders Futurity and Mountain State Futurity are held in conjunction with the September AQHA show each fall to conclude the season, with this year's futurity being held on September 17-19.
The showgrounds is located just
a few miles off I-64 on Rt 34 just west of Charleston WV. Traveling
East or West take the Teays Valley Exit and travel South on Rt
34. The show grounds is on the left just before the intersection
of Rts 34 and 35. Two hundred eighteen stalls,
one indoor arena and two covered arenas provide a weather proof
show environment with ample work areas while the climate-controlled
restaurant offers daily specials for all your dining needs. The
grounds are set up with full camper hookups with water and power
on a gravel parking surface.
If you like to get away after
the showing is over or just get away for lunch, the options are
limitless with numerous hotels, restaurants, malls, and night
life spots which includes the Tri State Greyhound Park just minutes
away or enjoy a night out at the ballpark with the WV Power professional baseball team. A variety of water sports and
golf, shopping and tourist attractions are also within short drives of the showgrounds.
