Make plans to attend one of the hottest shows of the season. The 2012 Buckeye Classic will be offering over $20,000 in cash and prizes. The Ohio Amateur Quarter Horse Association and Rock Star Horse Show Management will be giving everyone the VIP treatment by providing excellent customer service and great prizes.

Rock Star Show Manager, Sydney Miller, is excited about running their first show in Ohio. "In just a short time, sponsors have joined together to present a show that has something for everyone. GoHorseShow.com is the powerhouse behind the Non-Pro Stakes and Fritz Leeman Farm and Rock Star are teaming up to offer a $2,500 Novice Horse Hunter Under Saddle and a $7,500 Novice Horse Western Pleasure class," Sydney says. "The sense of community and team work that are already evident with this show is just amazing. We are privileged just to be a part of it!"

The show is AQHA, OQHA, NOQHA, and EOQHA approved, and it will be located at the Eden Park Equestrian Center in Sunbury, Ohio on May 11th through the 13th. The judges are Tony Burris, who will be judging the special event Trail and Western Pleasure classes on Friday, and John and Betsy Tuckey will be judging Saturday and Sunday. GoHorseShow, Rock Star, Fritz Leeman, Jennifer and Judd Paul, and The Martz Family are the main sponsors of the show. 

"It's been so much fun working with the Ohio Amateur Association on the plan for this show," says Michele Wilheim, one of the show managers for Rock Star Horse Management. "The great thing for us is the shared vision we have for the show. We're aiming to develop an event that feels old-fashioned and welcoming, and yet offers the sort of premiums and awards that exhibitors today not only demand, but deserve."
