Masters Classes
The All American Quarter Horse Congress is constantly striving to come up with new ways to promote the American Quarter Horse. In 2004, the idea to offer a slot class specifically to showcase the natural talent of the industry’s best two-year-olds became a reality. The Congress Masters program began with one class, Western Pleasure but quickly expanded. In 2006, Masters slots were opened for Hunter Under Saddle, Weanling Halter Fillies and Weanling Halter Colts/Geldings. At the beginning of each class, slots were opened up for sale, with slot owners purchasing their slot for life. Each year, slot owners must pay nomination and sustaining fees to maintain ownership of their slot. Current slot owners may lease their slot if they do not have a horse to show for the current year. Each year, some slots become available for sale. If you are interested in purchasing a slot, please contact:
